Suzy Mason

Norman Transcript Review-Former Oklahoma University Student Publishes Novel

Suzanne Mason's first novel, Be Still My Heart, is a riveting tale that takes the reader on a roller coaster ride of love and passion not soon forgotten. She writes from the heart of characters and landscape that the reader will remember long after putting down the book.

As one reader said, "I am so hooked that I am only reading a few pages at a time - otherwise I'd race through it like I would stuff down chocolate covered cherries."

The female protagonist, Sydney Parker Ross, is from a long line of Texas ranchers. Her roots are planted in Texas as deeply as the old oak tree outside her bedroom window. The male protagonist, Jared Trent, is a land developer from Washington, DC who has never put down roots anywhere. Despite their differences, the flames of the fire that brought them together paled in comparison to the sparks that blazed when Jared first saw Sydney.

Be Still My Heart follows the proven success formula for romance novels, but Mason enhances that formula by hooking the reader from start to finish. Beginning with page one, she puts the reader in the middle of a nightmare dreaded by ranchers everywhere - a stable fire.

Mason has traveled extensively, but the Texas Hill Country remains one of her favorite places on earth and this love for the landscape is reflected in her description and imagery throughout the story. Be Still My Heart can be purchased through barnes&noble.com, target.com and amazon.com for $1595. Search by: 0-595-41460-5.
