  heart for anything Star Wars. She has written forty Regency novels and
  historical romances, which are regularly to be found on the bestseller list.
  When she is not busily working on her next book, Suzanne likes to contemplate
  interesting phenomena, like how the 3 guppies in her aquarium became 161
  guppies in 5 months.
