Susan Rosson Spain

Susan Rosson Spain is an author of children's literature, writing for ages 4-18. Her first novel for young adults (and also suitable for middle-grade readers), THE DEEP CUT, won critical acclaim, including a starred review in Booklist, a publication of the American Library Association. The novel also garnered Susan a nomination for Georgia Author of the Year in 2007. Her second book, THE TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS IN GEORGIA, takes children from 4-10 on a wild romp through the Peach State, having fun and learning all along the way. A third book, another young adult novel entitled VEGAN RULES, is currently being shopped by her agent, and she is in the revision stage of yet another novel.

Susan Rosson Spain is also an ardent supporter and volunteer with Habitat for Humanity, and will go to Haiti in the fall to help the Carter Work Project build 100 houses in one week at the site of the epicenter of the 2010 earthquake in Leogane, Haiti. Don't be surprised if there's a picture book to follow...
