About me

Susan K. Hamilton is an award-winning, multi-genre author whose books include Shadow King, The Devil Inside, Stone Heart, and Darkstar Rising. She's also had the good fortune to have several short stories included in anthologies.

Horse-crazy since she was a little girl, she pretty much adores every furry creature on the planet (except spiders). She also loves comfy jeans, pizza, and great stand-up comedy.

Susan lives near Boston with her husband and is currently working on editing her new contemporary fantasy novel, The Cardinal Witch and two other novels set in the Cardinal Witch world: The Phoenix Hex and The Foxfire Charm (working title).

"Shadow King is an intense romantic thriller that keeps burning hotter and faster with every page. By the time the climax came, I could feel my heart pounding with every word! Susan K. Hamilton has written a stunning romantic crime-thriller set in a world of fantasy. Whether a thriller fan or fantasy, you will devour Shadow King."

Falling in Love with Your Characters (and Why It Matters)

I’ve been thinking about why some characters stay with us long after a book ends. In my earlier novels, I created characters I genuinely care about — but with my new project, something shifted. I didn’t just care about them; I fell for them in a whole new way.
