Susan Wakeford Angard was in Iran producing a TV commercial package for Boeing Aircraft in September 1978 and was an eyewitness to the first harrowing days of Khomeini's Revolutionary Guard's bloody takeover. Her vivid memories compelled her to write her first series of novels, The Persian Glories Saga trilogy. Susan has previously written for an episodic CBS network TV series, Hawaii Five O, and attended the UCLA Writers' Program.
