The Book

 
 

“Susan grabs the reader’s attention and keeps it throughout the book…”

David Walker, Reviewer and Author
 

Rarely has a novel caused such a stir among the upper crust of Susan’s home town of Fort Worth, Texas; the energy industry; and romance fans nationwide.

In a fascinating mix of opulence, romance and international intrigue, Susan has captured the legendary spirit and bravado of Texas oilmen; fascinating tales of the extravagant lifestyles of the ultra-rich; and the intrigue of America’s clandestine campaign to beat the Russians to supremacy in the pre-OPEC Middle East of the 1960’s.

Following the life, loves and challenges of beautiful Melanie Stuart through the 1960’s, Oil Rush, The International Tug of War is a fascinating peek behind the scenes of the Cold War as American and Russian spies and henchmen vie for control of the region’s unimaginable wealth and power.

Overriding the international intrigue is the beautiful tale of Melanie’s life and loves as she matures from a headstrong girl to a strong, professional woman.
