Susan Hayes

Writers block for Susan typically means that she has made some misstep in her manuscript somewhere and the story’s stopped flowing. Sometimes it’s as easy as getting a good night’s sleep or just walking away from her story for a little bit as her brain works through what it was that went wrong. If that doesn’t work, she’ll get back to the writing, even if every word’s a struggle.

The best place to start is the Paladin Protection Agency series, the earliest of Susan Hayes's multi-book series: it opens with Saved by Sin (2012) and runs to 3 books across 2012–2013, ending with Guarding Valentina (2013). Susan Hayes's other series stand alone, so they can be read in any order.
