Suzanne was a third grader who wanted to grow up to be Louisa May Alcott, a high schooler who wanted to grow up to be Mary Stewart, a college student who realized she couldn't support herself on five cents a word, an English teacher who started seven but never never finished one novel, an English teacher and mother who wrote poetry, an English professor who wrote about teaching writing, and a retiree who wrote mystery novels. Now she is a novelist with MS who writes more slowly than before.

When she’s not writing or reading, she enjoys playing with her granddaughter, laughing at her rescue cat, and piecing fabric scraps into colorful quilts.
