Let's get acquainted!

Hello friends!

I’m Susan, a career marketing professional and now a children’s book author. I can't believe it! I've always loved children's books, and now I'm writing them. The best part is that I get to write stories about things that matter to me—like figuring out who you are and your purpose in the world (Spot or Not?). Or exploring different kinds of families and some of the challenges kids might experience growing up in them (Wally's Grab-and-Run). I also love to think about how animals in our world live and survive because of their own unique qualities (Jeepers Peepers).

People ask me when I knew I wanted to be a children’s book author, and the answer might surprise you – when I was a kid!  That's because growing up often felt kind of hard. I was the only girl in a family of very active and loud boys. Most of the time, I felt unsure of how I fit in. It didn’t help that I was also tall for my age and very shy. The good news is that I found comfort and belonging in books and writing. Both gave me special friends and adventures I would never have found any other way.  I hope my books do the same for you.

Susan
