Suzetta Perkins had the heart of a
writer at a very young age. As a
dreamer, writing was one of the avenues that allowed her to dream big and take
her imagination beyond the boundaries of the four walls of her bedroom. She wrote many short stories, and in high
school, she became the co-editor of her school's yearbook.
Today, Suzetta has traveled many
miles since her early days. She has been
to more than twenty countries and has lived and/or visited just as many states
in the U.S. She plans to write stories
whose backdrops come from the experiences she's been fortunate enough to
visit. To have traveled and experienced
the world as she has is a story in itself.
The mother of two grown children and
one granddaughter, Suzetta finally realized her dream of writing a full-length
novel. In 2000, she penned her first
novel, Behind the Veil, a mainstream
suspense novel that looks into the life a man whose greed and deceit nearly
costs him his family, livelihood, and his life.
The sequel to Behind the Veil,
Déjà vu, will be released in August of 2009.
Suzetta is also the author of A Love So Deep and her riveting new
novel, EX-Terminator: Life After Marriage. She is also a contributing author of My Soul to His Spirit, an anthology that
was featured in the June 2005 issue of Ebony
magazine and winner of the 2006 Fresh Voices Award. Besides promoting her work, Suzetta mentors
several unpublished authors as they seek to get their work into print.
