About Susan Macatee
Susan Macatee sets her stories of romance during and just after the American Civil War. Her passion for this period in American history also extends to the paranormal. You'll find time travelers, ghosts, and vampires in the mix.
Her interest in the period stems from her years spent as a civilian Civil War reenactor, alongside her husband, who did the military side, with the 28th Pennsylvania Volunteer Regiment for about ten years.
Her other love is science fiction, which she reads voraciously and hopes to incorporate into future romance plots.
She lives with her husband and sons, and the family dog, a boxer-mix named Chase. She spends her free time cheering on her local baseball team, the Philadelphia Phillies, spending time with Chase and her husband, watching favorite old movies, and inhaling books.

Her mouth tilted up into a weak smile. “I suppose I could use a bite.” She reached out and enfolded her hand in his.

Excerpt:
He took her mouth, silencing her question. Her lips held tightly firm for a moment, then yielded to him. His tongue slid inside to taste her thoroughly. Sweet, soft and amazing. When he released her, he read the unleashed passion in her half-closed eyes.
She blushed a deep red, glancing around the tent. “Corporal …Kyle…you mustn’t take such liberties. What will the others think?”

Blog postSince I’ve been posting excerpts from my short paranormal romance, Dreaming Josie, where the modern day hero is having vivid dreams of being a soldier in a Civil War field hospital, I’d thought I’d post information from my research for the story.
Civil War field surgeons were often called butchers, but it was the weaponry of the day, the slow-moving minie bullet that was responsible for the catastrophic injuries and amputations that were so common in Civil War field hospitals.5 years ago Read more -

Excerpt:

“All right. I’ll put a fresh bandage on your wound.”
He nodded. Anything to keep her with him. He watched as she wrapped t5 years ago Read more -

Blog postAfter a two week break here’s another peek at the opening chapter of my American Victorian romance novella.
Excerpt:
A loud growl rose from her gut. Her lips quivered into the semblance of a smile. “Just a wee bit hungry, ’tis all. I’ll be fine.”
Elliot frowned. “Tell me, when did you last eat?”
“I—ah, I can’t be sure.”
Hoping he didn’t appear forward, Elliot stroked her hand. “You’re so cold, Miss. Are you sure you’re not ill?”
