My husband and I just returned from a 10-day vacation. We had a glorious time visiting my brother and his wife and children in Kansas. While there, we celebrated the marriage of his oldest son. Then we went on to Colorado to enjoy the wonderful hospitality of my husband’s oldest brother and his wife. Now we are…

I’m sorry that my Free Book Post is so late this month. It’s been a busy time, with something almost every night at the school where my husband is principal. This time of year is always hectic, but also lots of fun. Okay, free books! This month I thought it might be appropriate to tie our…

This week, I had the best time ever at a Kids’ Book Club. This particular club is sponsored by the St. Ignace (Michigan) Public Library, and, because the kids had chosen to read my book SISU, they invited me to come to the discussion group. We had a ball! The kids range from sixth through…

“Hey, Sue, wot up?” Well, you’re not exactly saying it in those words, but I’m catching some curiosity about what I’m currently writing. Thank you so much for that!
