SIGNATURE
OF A QUEEN, my best-selling romantic
suspense, is definitely a mystery, especially for the main character: Ali
Kinedulay. Or is that her real name? Ali suffers from amnesia. And not only
that, she has a deep-seated feeling that she’s in danger. As she goes into
hiding, journeying across the country, she meets new friends and runs into some
old ones... but who can she trust?
In SIGNATURE OF A QUEEN, as
a writer I get to experience the rarified air of the extremely wealthy... to a
degree, anyway! I also use a bit of astrology in this book, as one of the
quirky characters has a matchmaking interest in uniting Ali and Mack.
SHE DOESN’T REMEMBER
Ali wakes up with a raging
case of amnesia. Her New Hampshire hospital records state she’s Alabaster
Kinedulay, age twenty-four, married to a professor who has a son the same age
as Ali. She remembers none of that. The only thing she knows for certain is
that she’s in danger. Her intuition tells her to run away. And so she does,
ending up on the Pacific side of the country. Everyone she meets seems very
helpful, but are they really? When she learns she’s a mega rich Regale heiress,
more attempts are made on her life. Her heart is in danger, too, from hunky
psychiatrist Mack McClanahan. But is he telling the truth? Who can she trust?
HE CAN’T FORGET HER
Security specialist Mack
McClanahan is hired to protect a wealthy client, Alabaster Regale
Kinedulay--without her knowledge. Trouble is, she has amnesia and doesn’t
remember who she is, that she’s rich, or why she has no recollection of her
past. Pretending to be a psychiatrist, he tries to help her while also insuring
her safety. It’s a tough job, with a gaggle of suspicious characters hanging
around--the inattentive husband, the devious relation and his henchman, the
same-age stepson, even the patronizing attorney who hired Mack in the first
place. Or is the perpetrator someone else? As he struggles to protect Ali, he
breaks the number one rule in his job: never fall in love with the client.
After tying up all the loose
ends, SIGNATURE OF A QUEEN was released in both print and electronic form.

Here
are some fabulous reviews:
From the Dream Realm Award
winning author of THE COMING, a fresh, new romantic suspense! 5 STARS. Ali is
in a desperate situation. She’s lost her memory and she fears for her life.
Penniless, she depends on the kindness of others. Her new friend’s psychiatrist
takes too much of an interest in Ali’s business, a rich man offers to pay her
way, and oh wait, she has a husband?? Ms. Knight weaves a tapestry of intrigue,
danger, and romance. SIGNATURE OF A QUEEN is a highly entertaining read; don’t
miss it!--Norwood Reviews
5
Stars! Who is she? Why doesn’t she remember? Ali is a classic
“woman-in-jeopardy.” Someone wants her dead but she doesn’t know why. Who can
she trust? Why does her new friend insist Ali’s a queen? Talented author Susanne Marie Knight explores the
murky world of amnesia in her latest romantic suspense novel, SIGNATURE OF A
QUEEN. Absolutely brilliant!--Twists on Romance Reviews
SIGNATURE OF A QUEEN is my
kind of book! Brilliant!--Reader Comment
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One of the hallmarks in my
novels is to use tidbits--just a nibble!--from real life or my life. SIGNATURE
OF A QUEEN is no different. The hero of this tale, Mack McClanahan, and his
grandmother, Nancy McClanahan are named after my great, great grandmother Nancy
Clanahan. Mack’s partner, John Hacker, owes his name to another great, great
grandmother, Elizabeth Hacker.
Also, I vacationed at a
beautiful resort in California that then served as the location of the Rocky
Vista Estates and Resort. I went on a “dolphin safari” tour and was treated to
the sight of a fantastic stampede, as you see below.
I incorporated this scene of
dolphin delight by first having the villain tell Ali of his foiled plans:
“My plan was to drive you
outta here, outta the Resort and on over to the harbor. Rent a boat, zip out on
the water... and then dump you with the dolphins. Yeah, it’s like you woulda
took a little cruise by yourself, got disoriented, and fell overboard. It
woulda looked like an accident.”
Then, dolphins need to have
a happy ending, so here we have a scene with:
Earlier in the afternoon,
the waters had been awash with dolphins, a vista of dolphins feeding, playing,
jumping.
For
a modern day romantic suspense, I recommend SIGNATURE OF A QUEEN. I hope you enjoy Ali and
Mack’s story.
Happy reading,
Susanne Marie Knight
