This week, Susie Black’s Saturday Author Spotlight shines on romance author N. Christine Samuelson.
About the author
Christine’s novels center on resilient women and the enduring bonds that change lives and transcend time, place, and death. Her stories feature characters who recover from tragedy and loss, delving into the depths of love, life, and relationships. She explores the joys and triumphs, the tragedies and magic of life and love that resonate with all readers. Her characters are realistic, fresh, and relevant, with stories that include mystery, secrets, and occasional mysticism. She hopes readers will be inspired to view life and love through a different lens and recognize that, regardless of their circumstances, we all share similar stories in our lives and hearts.
Living in coastal South Carolina, Christine finds the sea to be a constant source of inspiration. Her novel Heart Storms takes place there, and the author’s knowledge of the area, its history, and social mores gives this timeless tale an authenticity that permeates the story.
Here is a blurb to whet your appetite:
Three people’s lives collide in a perfect storm of heartbreak and ruin, betrayal, and love. One woman and two men are drawn to coastal South Carolina to an oceanfront Victorian B&B inn. With losses from divorce, lies, secrets, cheating spouses, and abandonment, all three characters do not seek love or a relationship. As they go through the emotional storms of their lives, destiny brings them together in an extraordinary way. But will they be destroyed or transformed by their fates? An enchanting seaside inn, complete with mystical elements, lifts the characters’ spirits and helps them on their journeys. Their passionate triangle must be broken for them to move on with their lives, but who ends up with whom, or do they, and when?
Here is what readers have to say about Heart Storms:
Kindle Reader: “This is a beautiful story about love and how deep, emotional, and unique the love between people can be. It deals with love, loss, and life circumstances, and the paths that our lives take. The story is told from multiple POVS, and it is an interesting writing style. This book will make you think about the path of your own life and how events have shaped you into who you are today.”
Karen Whalen: “N. Christine Samuelson explores deep emotions between three main characters. Not a typical romance story with some unexpected twists.”
Susan C. Hutchinson: “N. Christine Samuelson delivers a heart-wrenching, yet life-affirming tale of love, betrayal, and ultimate redemption in the story of 3 people brought together as they heal from their own personal tragedies. Through a flowing script, Samuelson takes you into their lives and journeys to reach forgiveness for others as well as themselves. You feel for these characters; you hurt for them; and in the end, you’re joyful for them.”
Hubbard: “Heart Storms is a page turner! Right away, you want to know what will happen in this volatile, emotional, and intense love triangle! I had to make myself stop reading and get back to the “real” world! The author beautifully draws us into a natural and emotional landscape that leaves us wanting to know and experience more!”

I’m a huge fan of Samuelson’s books. She’s brings realism and emotion to her characters without overdoing it. You’ll connect with the characters and their pain soon becomes your own.
