As a free-lancer, Susan has written for magazines, newspapers, chambers of commerce, and professional journals. She also writes publicity for several organizations at Smith Mountain Lake, where she and her husband live. She is a member of The Authors Guild, Virginia Writers, and the Lake Writers.

A career educator, Susan has taught students from 7th grade through college-level. She has a BA degree in English from Carson-Newman College and a Masters degree from George Mason University. She is listed in several different volumes of Who’s Who in Education and Who’s Who in Teaching. One of her favorite activities is to talk with budding writers at schools, writers’ conferences, and workshops.

Susan has long been interested in Southern concerns about culture and society, as hard-felt, long-held feelings battle with modern ideas. The ghosts slipped in, to her surprise.

When she is not writing, Susan enjoys boating, kayaking, golf and yoga. She and her husband love to travel, especially when grandchildren are involved.
