Sue actually began her writing career with a poem about Heaven, which was published in her church’s monthly newsletter when she was only eight. The sudden abundant wealth and fame attendant with that printing led her to crave more. “I knew the sky was the limit!” she said of her heavenly pursuits.
She went on to many writing projects in junior and senior high, some of which, when confiscated by substitute teachers, were read to the entire class for their enjoyment. Soon she was infamous. During those classic teenaged years filled with angst, Sue expressed herself mostly through poor poetry and romantic stories of unrequited love.
It wasn’t until she became a wife and mother that Sue began to seriously consider writing for publication. She became a contributing editor to The Mustard Seed and the Cloverleaf, quarterly literary magazines of faith stories. She has been published in the Atlanta Journal Constitution and the Mansfield News Journal. Her short stories have been published in two editions of the best selling anthology series, Cup of Comfort.
Not able to keep her fingers still when near a computer keyboard, Sue has worked for the last five years as Project Manager in the communications department of an international non-profit training organization. She is the in-house writer in the home office for all their printed material, including their internationally distributed magazine, Leaders for Today.
She is author of Abraham’s Table, a chronicle of the life of an immigrant Jewish girl who experiences anti-Semitism and witnesses racism and bigotry, and determines to fight back with her most powerful tool — her words.
Her second manuscript, a sequel to Abraham’s Table, is in the works.
