Susan Ouellette - Author

Susan Ouellette is a former intelligence analyst for the CIA. Her debut novel, THE WAYWARD SPY, to be released from CamCat Books on March 2nd, 2021, heavily draws on her experience as an intelligence analyst at the CIA and as a professional staff member for the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI). 

It was there on the Hill, during quiet moments in the attic of the of the U.S. Capitol Building, that Susan conceived of Maggie Jenkins in THE WAYWARD SPY, an intrepid young woman thrust into a life-threatening situation borne of tragedy. 

“She has walked the halls of the House Intelligence Committee and the CIA and knows those institutions as very few novelists do,” says Dr. Mark M. Lowenthal, former CIA Assistant Director for Analysis and former Staff Director, House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. “Susan Ouellette has written a well-crafted page-turner that benefits not only from her imagination and way with words—but from her experience.”
