With ONE GOOD DOG coming out in the very near future, a lot of time and energy is being spent on my behalf to get the word out.  As part of my ‘homework’ I visited Bookreporter.com and, lo and behold, there’s OGD right up there as a ‘one to watch.’  I am so thrilled to [...]

ONE GOOD DOG!

by Susan on January 29, 2010

Imagine my delight when my husband went out yesterday morning to get his paper and found ONE GOOD DOG on our doorstep.  Having only seen the ARCs, I can only equate seeing the real book in hand as, having seen ultrasounds of a baby, the real infant is even more beautiful that imagined.  Sweet!

ALA spells fun

by Susan on January 18, 2010

I had the distinct pleasure of attending the American Library Association conference held, conveniently, in Boston this past weekend.  If my husband had the data cord to connect the camera phone to the computer, I could actually share photos of me signing ARCs of ONE GOOD DOG for the gratifyingly large crush of library types who [...]

What’s Your Story?

by Susan on December 12, 2009

This essay first appeared in the Martha’s Vineyard Times, www.mvtimes.com.
There is a compulsion in every writer to create a narrative whether one is required or not. Case in point, two years ago, my youngest daughter brought a foster dog home for Christmas. A little rag of a dog that had been hit by a car [...]

Thoughts upon returning from the Big Apple

by Susan on November 19, 2009

(This article appeared first in the Martha’s Vineyard Times www.mvtimes.com.)
    What a difference a year makes.  This time last year we elected a new president, changing the face of America forever.  On that very day we learned we were to become grandparents for the very first time.  And, a year ago, I was on sabbatical [...]

Oh Boy! I’m a blogger

by Susan on March 19, 2009

It looks like I’ve entered the blogging world at long last.  I will admit that this is a brave new step for me, I’ve been fairly stubborn about taking on new technology and it’s going to take a little time before I get into the swing of things.  As I’m sure no one wants to [...]
