About our Guest
Susan was born into a military family and developed a love for reading by trading books with her siblings.​
About her writing, she says, "In a resource-constrained environment the obvious response to a desire to read a particular story was to write it yourself, because there was no other way to get to read it. That’s where I started, and where I still am, writing the stories that I want to read so that I’ll get to read them when I’m done."
