Suzanne writes short stories, novelettes, and novels about Southern misfits finding their way to art, love, and chosen family. She knows firsthand the rich culture and complexity of small towns—how they can both nurture and challenge those who dare to be different. She shares her woodland Tennessee home with her rock musician husband, their exceptionally creative teenager, and their rescue dog and cat. Her family originally hails from the Appalachian mountains of Kentucky and West Virginia.
