Susan Ouellette was born and raised in the suburbs of Boston,
where she
studied international relations and Russian language and culture at
both Harvard University and Boston University. As the Soviet Union
teetered on the edge of collapse, she worked as an intelligence
analyst at the CIA, where she earned a commendation for her work
done during the failed 1991 Soviet coup. Subsequently, Susan worked
on Capitol Hill as a professional staff member for the House
Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI).
It was there in the Capitol Building, during quiet moments, that Susan conceived of Maggie Jenkins, an intrepid female character thrust into a dangerous situation borne of tragedy. Next came the threads of a plot, and from that blossomed her first espionage thriller, The Wayward Spy.
Susan lives on a farm outside of Washington, D.C., with her husband, three boys, cats, chickens, turkeys, and too many honeybees to count. In her spare time, she loves to read, root for Boston sports teams, and spend time staring out at the ocean on the North Carolina coast.
"[A] gripping debut and series launch . . . Ouellette, a former CIA analyst, brings plenty of authenticity to this fast-paced spy thriller. Readers will look forward to Maggie's further adventures." -Publishers Weekly
