Men Of Medicine Ridge
A New York Times bestselling author, the American writer hailing from Cuthbert in Georgia Susan Kyle has been writing for a number of years now, putting out work at a regular and ever consistent pace, bringing out more and more books with every passing year. Known for writing science-fiction under her own name, she is also highly regarded for putting out novels under various different pen-names and pseudonyms, all of which she uses to effectively extend her highly successful brand and reputation. These pen-names include Katy Currie, Diana Blayne and Diana Palmer, all of which she has used over the years to build upon certain aspects of her career as a writer. Largely writing romance and contemporary fiction under her Diana Palmer pen-name, she has produced a large quantity of genre novels over the years, all of which have been in high demand over the course of career, allowing her to write full-time successfully, reaching the top of the bestseller lists on numerous occasion. Combining well drawn characters with finely tuned plot-lines, she’s managed to draw her many readers into her richly drawn and intricately woven worlds, involving them in her ever immersive stories and narratives. Her characters themselves are also extremely well drawn, as she creates fully three-dimensional personalities that allow them to really resonate with their audience, regardless of where they’re from. This is down to the universally accessible nature of her material and writing, something which her many readers have come to revere over the years, thus going some way towards explaining the global popularity she has achieved as well. Knowing and understanding the format she is writing within, this is something that she’ll continue to develop in the years to come, as she is only just reaching the peak of her powers and skill as an author, This can also be seen in her many series that she’s created over the years too, with many of them building a sense of familiarity over time, with her long-running characters relating to readers too. A great example of this is the ‘Men Of Medicine Ridge’ series, as it’s a franchise set in Montana following a group of cowboys living and working there, with the series itself charting the many relationships and romances. Evoking a sense of the great outdoors, the series manages to bring the region to life, as it mainly focuses on the ‘Medicine Ridge’ of the title, looking at the cowboys who live there. Clearly understanding this lifestyle as well, is self evident whilst reading the novels that Kyle is obviously someone who holds a highly defined affinity for the area and everyone there. Writing with a clear sense of passion, this set of romances shows Kyle in all her confidence, as she channels the lives of inhabitants of rural Montana, bringing them to life effectively upon the page. With a whole range of different stories, they’re all loosely connected by the location, with each title essentially being a new romance, whilst some elements are recurring in order to give long-term fans something to follow and appreciate too.
