Fun Facts About Susan

1. My first-grade teacher, Mrs. Ronan, instilled a love of reading in me and my siblings.

2. Memoir is my favorite genre because I love people. Currently, I am writing my memoir, My Story for HIS Glory, so reading memoirs gives me insight into what works and what doesn't work.

3. My favorite part of a story is the resolution because it shows how God can work in the lives of His children.

4. As a reader and as a writer, I love book reviews, so I write them often. The reasons I love to write reviews is that I am an editor for the writing submitted to Koinonia Publications, a platform for other Christian writers to share their work.

5. The themes I would like to see in Christian fiction are ones about God's work in the lives of believers. God is so good, and I like to see His work being done and the resolution.
