About Susi

I have loved reading for as long as I can remember. It didn’t take long for me to realize that I enjoyed creating my own stories as much as reading the creations of others. I loved to daydream as a child (and an adult), and sometimes claimed my “characters” as actual friends, especially when it meant getting my way with my parents. My family always encouraged me to write, but I never took it too seriously.

 Still, when facing high stress times, I found myself in front of the computer creating exciting new realities. Unfortunately, life always got in the way, and I didn’t finish any of these stories–until recently. I now have two just-about-done romance novels that I both love and hate, and a plan for something new.  :-) I have always debated between Romance and Young Adult, with most of the short fiction pieces I have written falling in the later category. I am about halfway through my first YA novel, and I absolutely love the change in genre!

When not huddled behind my laptop, I am a loving wife to the greatest husband in the world (although I may be a bit biased). He encourages me when I get frustrated and gets up with me in the middle of the night when I have an awesome plot idea I just have to talk through. I also have an adorable shi-tzu/poodle pup named Cami who seems to think she is a little person, and has just about mastered walking on only her two back legs.

When not writing or spending time my husband (who I like to refer to as Pookie) and Cami, I can be found with family and friends, at a community theatre rehearsal, at a minor league baseball game, or relaxing with a cup of coffee or tea and a great book.
