Today, I am happy to introduce
Susan Moore Jordan
and her wonderful novels combining her love of words and music.
Susan Moore Jordan doesn’t just love Opera like a lot of us do. She teaches voice in her private studio, and
her students went on to leading schools of music, singing in opera houses and
musical theater companies around the world.
Her other love
is writing. To no surprise, her
words have that lyrical sound evoking the same feelings in her readers as does listening
to music for opera lovers.
Susan published her first novel, How I Grew Up, in 2013.
It is a coming-of-age story based
on a high school friend of the author, who suffered a horrific family tragedy a week before she was
due to audition for her school’s spring musical production of Carousel.
This is not just a coming-of-age story, but the rise of ELI
LEVIN as a brilliant teenage pianist.
And, like any young man, he falls in love. Life should be
perfect. However, Eli was born with a serious heart defect and not expected to
live past the age of thirty. Where does such overshadowing leave young Love?
At the beginning of 2015, she published You Are My Song, her third novel.
The nineteen-fifties. Elvis is wearing Blue Suede Shoes.
The
Grand Old Opry reigns supreme in Nashville.
But in a small Tennessee town Jamie
Logan—a goodhearted young man with a superb tenor voice—stars in his high
school's musical theater production and begins an unlikely, almost magical
journey that could take him to the pinnacle of the opera world.

All of Susan Moore Jordan’s novels are drawn from her life
experiences as a voice teacher and stage director and are inspired by real
people she encountered in the course of her long career.
