Sue Long

Sue Long writes about the Outer Banks in the off-season — when the rental signs come down, the wind turns, and the people who actually live there get the island back.

She lives on the sound side of Hatteras Island, where the water changes color three times before lunch and everyone knows which road floods first. Her novels are set on the real Banks: Rodanthe, Waves, Salvo, Avon, Ocracoke. The bridges are real. The weather is real. The Dairy Queen closing for the season is real.

She writes for women who have raised a family, run a household, held it all together for twenty years — and are wondering what happens next. Her books are about second chances, quiet marriages, grown children, old houses, and the particular kind of courage it takes to change your life after fifty.

Readers who love Nicholas Sparks, Debbie Macomber, and Robyn Carr tend to feel at home in her books.
