Susan Y. Tanner is best known for her historical romance novels. In Trouble in Summer Valley she combines her love of horses and cats, and steps into a new genre-contemporary romantic mystery. Writing in the voice of a black cat detective, especially one with a slight British accent (thanks to his addiction to Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock Holmes) has spurred a series idea that will be sure to delight readers. Her upcoming Trouble books will feature characters with a backstory set in the world of equines, a mini-series within the Familiar Legacy series. Tanner lives on a small ranch in Mississippi and barrel races.
