Susan September 10, 2014 On Writing

Susan May 11, 2013 Books, Good Stuff, Just for Fun, On Writing, Scribbles

 

Hello, yeah. Hi. So, I’m Darek Christiansen, and Susie told me I had to show up and introduce myself. So here I am. Listen, it’s no mystery that I don’t want to be here. I really need to be getting home to Tiger, my five-year-old son. But apparently the resort needs a little public relations,

Take a Chance on Claire

Susan April 27, 2013 Books, Good Stuff, Just for Fun, Scribbles

Hi. I’m Claire. You might have already seen me at the Deep Haven pizza joint, Pierre’s Pizza. I make a mean spinach pizza. I also tend the flowers at the Deep Haven Community Gardens. Yeah, that’s right, exciting stuff.

Actually, OK, I know that’s not funny.

Take a Chance on the Christiansens

Susan April 20, 2013 Books, Good Stuff, Just for Fun, On Writing

They’re a family you might find next door. Or in your church. Or maybe they’re like your family. Parents trying to figure out the delicate steps of guiding adult children into responsibility, hoping to leave a legacy. When I crafted the Christiansen family, I looked close to home, at our family, and the families of our friends.

Get to Know Me: Colleen

Colleen: I’m here. So, what do you want? I know you’ve already talked to my parents, and grandma, and Uncle Frank—and even my boyfriend? Listen, I only have a tiny little microscopic pitiful role in your story, You Don’t Know Me, so I don’t know what the big deal is.

Get to Know Me: Frank

Susan September 22, 2012 Uncategorized

For the record, I don’t think I should be here. I’m jeopardizing all the clients I’ve placed over the years as a witness security agent. So that’s on your head, Susie May. Just sayin’.

Susie: I think we’ll be OK, Frank. Thanks for being here today to talk about your role in my upcoming book,

    Let’s have a little catch up. Last time we chatted, I was packing to drive home to MN. My dog was freaking out about us leaving him behind.  He grabbed his leash and followed us around the house. What a silly. But sweet. No one likes to be left behind,Read More
