Susan Thumm Paxton is an educator and author based in Norfolk, Virginia. Her debut novel, The Ocean's Edge (2025), is a gripping YA mystery filled with suspense, family secrets, and a hint of romance. Published by TouchPoint Press, the novel has been described as perfect for fans of atmospheric mysteries and dark family dramas.
Susan's writing journey began long before her first publication. She has written three unpublished young adult novels and a middle-grade novel and is currently working on a sequel to The Ocean's Edge.
She has been recognised for her storytelling in contests such as the San Francisco Writing Contest, Rate Your Story Novel Contest and Pitch Madness Contest, and she continues to develop her craft through workshops at The Muse Writers Centre in Norfolk.
Susan holds a degree in English Literature from Hollins University and an M.A. in English and Education from the College of William & Mary. She also attended the prestigious UCLA Writer's Program.
Set against the hauntingly beautiful backdrop of the Outer Banks, The Ocean's Edge tells the story of Claudia Mercer, whose life was forever changed one fateful night on the Carolina coast. Now, fifteen years later, Claudia returns to the coast in search of her missing brother and to confront long-buried secrets.
Her journey becomes intertwined with CQ, a mysterious figure from her past, and she becomes entangled in a decades-long web of lies and betrayal. With a nor'easter on the horizon, Claudia faces danger at every turn and must fight to uncover the truth as she grapples with redemption and hope for a better future.
When she's not writing, Susan enjoys yoga, morning walks with her dog, Jazzy, and exploring the beaches of the Outer Banks, looking for signs of porpoises, wild horses, and unique seashells.
Susan Thumm Paxton is also the proud mother of two grown sons and the grandmother of three beautiful grandsons.
