Susan Wilson is a women’s fiction author who has been publishing since 1996. Her debut novel, Beauty, is a modern retelling of the Beauty and the Beast fairy tale. She followed it with several standalone novels set in New England, including Hawke’s Cove (2000), Cameo Lake (2001), The Fortune Teller’s Daughter (2002), and Summer Harbor (2003).
Starting with One Good Dog in 2010, Wilson’s fiction took a noticeable turn toward stories involving dogs and their relationships with people. That book, about a disgraced businessman who forms an unlikely bond with a pit bull, became her best-known work. She continued in this vein with The Dog Who Danced, A Man of His Own, The Dog Who Saved Me, Two Good Dogs, The Dog I Loved, and What a Dog Knows. Each novel tells a distinct story, but the human-canine connection is a constant thread.
Wilson also published The Infinity Files in 2021, a departure from her usual style. Across her career, her novels have consistently dealt with themes of second chances, small-town life, and the ways animals can change people’s lives. Her books work well as standalone reads and can be picked up in any order.
