Sue is young at heart and makes her home in rural central Colorado, where she keeps up with her family and her chickens, who maintain the kind of questionable attitudes only a patient woman could love. Before turning to fiction writing, she spent thirty years performing in theatre productions across Texas, Montana, and Colorado— belting show tunes, delivering dramatic monologues, and occasionally falling off stages.

She also served proudly in the U.S. Air Force, where she performed in numerous productions and formed friendships that have lasted a lifetime. A self proclaimed armchair psychologist, she channels her powers into crafting character driven stories instead of diagnosing strangers at the grocery store.

She began her first novel at sixty two because, as long as you draw breath, it's never too late. The Awakening of Verity Jones is her debut novel, and the first in a series exploring resilience, faith, and transformation on the frontier.

She is currently writing the second book in the series, The Becoming of Verity Jones, and hopes to cast all the actors who took up residence in her head while she wrote the first novel. With any luck, they'll ride back in for the screenplay like they own the place. The reader will just have to guess the cast, because she'll never tell.
