Passions: “Anything that sparks my curiosity and interest, but most especially creative writing, books, and animals. I love to write, I love to learn, and I love to make a difference. My love for dogs has equaled my love for writing, so these are the things that fuel me, that matter most.”

Susan is such a sweet girl with a real talent for creative writing. Her writing is a breath of fresh air because I’m so used to reading “How to” tips in the blogging community.

It’s amazing how much you get to know a person when you sit down and actually have an honest conversation with them; compared to the limits of 140 characters that Twitter provides. I got to really understand where Susan’s inspiration for her writing comes from, but more importantly, she opened up to her love for dogs and what she’s doing to help the dogs in her community. She has truly inspired me to take the first steps and help the animals in my community as well.

Susan is also an amazing editor. She was actually Jonathan Mead’s editor for his eBook, so if you’re thinking about writing an eBook or need someone with talent to edit your content, go ahead and reach out to Susan.  Enjoy the vid!
