Susan Mills Introduces Detective Colt Jessup in Steamy Thriller “Rock Bottom”

In this episode 194, we visit with Susan Wilson, author of “Rock Bottom,” the first book in the Colt Jessup series, a fast-paced and spellbinding thriller with a hint of romance.

Isabella Luca’s sister Brianna is dead—and Isabella refuses to accept that her sister could have died by suicide. She returns to Charlotte from New York to find out the truth, enlisting the help of Detective Colt Jessup, a vice cop who knew about Brianna’s history of addiction. As they come closer to finding the killer, Isabella finds herself in mortal danger, and only Jessup can prevent her from becoming the next victim.

Bob Rogers, author of “The Laced Chameleon,” calls the book “a superb mystery and thriller” with a “new level of action entertainment while providing insights into addiction, embezzlement, greed, and policing.”

About the Author:

Susan Mills Wilson is the author of Rock Bottom and six other romantic suspense novels. A woman trapped in the body of a sweet Southern belle, Susan releases her inner wild child by creating gritty stories where the sparks fly—whether from imminent danger or sexual tension. As a teenager, she became a “closet writer” who wrote about romance and continued to write on and off throughout her adult life.

Susan’s first novel, Good Gone Bad, with its steamy sex scenes and trash talking criminals was a drastic departure from her work as a church administrator. In addition to authoring short stories and suspense novels, she writes a blog on a variety of topics. She is the coordinator of a local critique group and previously served on the board of the Charlotte Writers Club.

Fun Facts About Susan Mills

Susan is an identical twin. She was born in a time when pregnant women were not given ultrasounds. Not only did her parents not know the sex of the baby; they had no idea twins were on their way until the delivery. Susan’s father was unprepared for the news and thought the nurse was joking until he saw for himself. Because the parents only had one crib, the hospital was kind enough to donate two bassinets. A fifth girl was born two years later. In order to maintain his sanity in a houseful of girls, Susan’s father took many weekend fishing trips.

Susan met her husband, Ron, on jury duty. They were both picked to serve on a trial of a police officer charged with selling marijuana to an undercover SBI agent. Ron joked that the process wasn’t fair because the defendant got off with a six-month suspension, but he was sentenced to life.
