Suzette D. Harrison writes both historical fiction and contemporary romance centered on African American experiences. Her early novels Living On The Edge Of Respectability (2002) and When Perfect Aint Possible (2003) established her voice in African American fiction.
She later built two prolific romance series: Decades: A Journey of African American Romance (11 books) and Distinguished Gentlemen (12 books), both published primarily in 2018-2019. Her more recent work has shifted toward historical fiction, with The Girl at the Back of the Bus (2021) telling a story set during the Montgomery Bus Boycott and The Dust Bowl Orphans (2022) exploring Depression-era America. My Name Is Ona Judge (2022) recounts the life of a woman who escaped enslavement by George Washington’s household.
