Susan C. Ramirez was born and raised in the Allegheny Mountains of Pennsylvania. Her family could not afford to buy a house, so they rented half of a suburban duplex. But what they did have as theirs, at least in part, was the woodland hollow with its rustic cabin Susan describes in The Fairytales of Lightfall Hollow. It was there that Susan first fell under the spell of Mother Nature and her awesome magic.
Yet, when Susan grew up, she had to earn her keep. This reality compelled her to move to Washington, D.C. where she worked on Capitol Hill and in the Women's Movement. After that, Susan chose to be a stay-at-home mom.
During all her many wonderful adventures throughout that long time, Susan always knew she would someday come home to the hollow. And finally, she did.
Now Susan lives there. Her current cabin is a quaint, cozy little house full of peculiarities, imperfections, and memories that give the modest home an air of true enchantment. Sharing the same sweet abode are Susan's loving husband, a charmer of a dog, and an imp of a cat.
As for Mother Nature, she is still in the hollow, gracing Susan's life with her awesome magic. As she graces your life anywhere on the good Earth you happen to be.
