Susan started and current leads a Writer’s Group in the Entertainment Industry Organization, Greenlight Women.

Here's a bit of weird trivia about me.
I have a love-hate relationship with creepy “grounded” supernatural stories. As a child I was fascinated with ghost stories (especially those in the haunted places that you can actually visit), but after reading them I was so freaked out, I had to sleep with the lights on for about a week. I always knew it was a “bad” idea to read those, but I couldn’t stop myself!
I'm a fraternal twin and since my twin sister sat on my head in the womb, one side of my face was a bit undeveloped when I was born so the doctor recommended that I sleep with my developed side of my head pinned to my mattress so my undeveloped side of my face would develop (I slept in a tight hoodie that was pinned to the mattress.) I still have a habit of sleeping on one side, but I no longer sleep in a hoodie. LOL. p.s. I'm okay now, and have no hard feelings toward my twin.
My favorite color is an earthy brown. I think it's because even though my sun sign is in Aries, I have a lot of "earthy" elements in my natal birth chart. My Aries sun sign is on the cusp of Taurus, my moon is in Capricorn, and my rising sign is Virgo, so I'm Very Grounded. Yep, lots of earth there!
One of my favorite quotes is: "No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.” –Aesop.
