Susanne Severeid, author of the award-winning murder mystery, The
Death of Milly Mahoney, is a former TV presenter, actress and model. Her
many-faceted career began at 19 as a fresh-faced model in Southern California.
She worked her way up through major television commercials, becoming
spokesperson for top accounts like Sprite, MacDonald's, Maxwell House
Coffee to name a few.
Susanne acted in popular TV shows and films (Howling IV, TJ Hooker,
CHiPS, Sledgehammer!, Santa Barbara, etc.,) and also became a sought-after
TV anchor and presenter, both in America and Europe, including hosting an
EMMY Award-winning PBS-TV special.
In her thirties, she moved from L.A. to Europe and taught public speaking at
the University of Amsterdam, while continuing her performing career with a lead
in one of the most popular European nighttime soaps Goede Tijden, Slechte
Tijden (Good Times, Bad Times), and with her one-woman cabaret show on
Marlene Dietrich. She anchored an international business news program and
did countless voice-overs for major accounts. She was also the "face" for
scores of corporate films, chaired top business conferences, and was an
international radio journalist for World Broadcasting (100 million listeners
worldwide).
Susanne drew upon her own background as a young actress and model in
Hollywood, and living in Southern California and Malibu, for the strong "sense
of place" and characters of her first novel, The Death of Milly Mahoney.
"I came across so many fascinating and colorful people at the time, some highly
talented, some tragic, and I wanted to find a way to capture some of that. I also
wanted to show the darker side of the Hollywood dream," says Susanne.
