Suzy Spencer is the author of four true crime books – Wasted, a New York Times bestseller; Wages of Sin, which was featured on the 2013 season premiere of Investigation Discovery’s Deadly Sins; Breaking Point, the story of Houston mother Andrea Yates; and The Fortune Hunter.

But after nearly 10 years of writing true crime, Suzy desperately needed to laugh. She thought writing about sex would help her do that. So in December 2004, Suzy began a journalistic investigation into Americans’ alternative sex practices. The result is her most emotionally challenging book yet — Secret Sex Lives: A Year on the Fringes of American Sexuality.

Secret Sex Lives, Suzy’s first memoir, was featured on Katie Couric’s talk show, Katie; was named a Publishers Weekly fall 2012 pick in the memoir category, as well as a Barnes & Noble editor’s recommendation; and was featured twice at the 2012 Texas Book Festival. Suzy’s been interviewed on Good Morning America, ABC World News, Primetime, and Dateline NBC;  plus numerous shows on Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Court TV, Investigation Discovery, Oxygen and E! Channel.
