Long Bio
Suzie Waltner’s road to writing books is different than the many authors. It wasn’t until the summer after second grade that she learned to love reading because a teacher challenged her to read as many books as she could that summer. And while she carried around a notebook and wrote poems about animals in it and took a couple creative writing classes in college, becoming an author wasn’t on her radar.
Fast forward several years, and one of Suzie’s co-workers encouraged her to give NaNoWriMo a try. And that was when she was bitten by the writing bug. After independently publishing several books, she took a hiatus for a few years while she learned more about the craft of writing and dug into what others were writing. And now Midnight Blue, her first book with Anaiah Press will be released in July 2022.
When she’s not working at her day job or writing or reading, Suzie enjoys cheering on the Nashville Predators hockey team or dancing an hour away at Zumba class. Suzie resides in a suburb of Nashville, TN and is a member of American Christian Fiction Writers as well as Faith, Hope, and Love Christian Writers. Midnight Blue was a 2023 Holt Medallion and Maggie Award finalist and the 1st place winner of the 2023 Angel Book Award for contemporary fiction.

About the Book
A series of heartbreaking setbacks behind her, Scarlett Sykes is now focused on creating the best life possible for her daughter. One where innocence and joy is not colored by rejection or loss. While finances are tight and Scarlett’s job isn’t ideal for a single mother, her child will always know she’s loved. Especially since Harmony’s father wanted nothing to do with them.
As lead singer and the face of a successful country band, Jake Turnquist’s closest friends depend on him, but life in the spotlight is quickly losing its appeal. At a party celebrating another accomplishment, he’s stunned to discover Scarlett assisting the caterer. Almost ten years have passed, but he’s never forgotten his first love.
In the hours after a surprise revelation, Jake scrambles to orchestrate a way to spend time with Scarlett and Harmony—the family he’s always wanted but never knew he had. He once gave her up to pursue his music. What will he have to surrender to win her back?
