S. Jane (Susie) Scheyder grew up in the Midwest, lived for years in the South, and now calls New England her home. She graduated from Valparaiso University with a degree in Music Merchandising, though writing has always been her favorite artistic outlet. Having dreamed of renovating and running her own B&B, she found the theme of her first novel, Cafenova, the first of the Clairmont series. Susie’s first children's book, One More Thing, about a boy who puts off bedtime, was released in 2014, followed by How Will You Change the World? in 2016. Susie and her husband raised five children and live in Connecticut.
