Author Bio and Marketing Plan

Susan Payton graduated from Rutgers University with a major in French. She completed the Executive Development Program at The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. Payton has traveled extensively to Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.

After graduation, Payton forged a successful career in sales and marketing, which spanned fifteen years.   Working for a major healthcare company, she became a top sales representative and soon moved to management as director of sales and product manager. Her responsibilities included appearances on television and radio as spokesperson for the company's health centers.

In the early years of 2000, Payton retired from corporate life to stay home with her children. She began writing and has completed four novel-length manuscripts. The third manuscript, now titled Duck, Duck, Dead, has won several awards including a Golden Heart nomination in 2007. She recently completed the second book in the Jersey Shore series and has begun work on the third.

Once published, Payton will pro-actively sell her books using skills honed over fifteen years of sales and marketing. An interactive website, print and cable advertising, and old-fashioned, door-to-door bookstore selling and promotion are planned. Payton is involved in several writing organizations including RWA, MWA, KOD, and NJRW.
