The Book

Rarely has a novel caused such a stir across Susan’s home town, Fort Worth, Texas, the energy industry and political historians.

In a fascinating mix of opulence, romance and international intrigue, Susan has captured the spirit and bravado of Texas oilmen, the fascinating tales of the upper-crust, extravagant lifestyles of the ultra-rich, and the intrigue of America’s clandestine campaign to beat the Russians to supremacy in the pre-OPEC Middle East of the 1960’s.

Following the life, loves and challenges of beautiful Melanie Stuart through the period of the 1960’s, Oil Rush, The International Tug of War is a fascinating peek behind the scenes of the Cold War as American and Russian spies and henchmen vie for control of the region’s unimaginable wealth and power.
