One of four daughters - with an unfortunate son arriving smack in the middle - Susan was born and raised in an estrogen-fuelled household in Hamilton, Ontario. Four kids later, she decided to stay at home, becoming a specialist in offspring dispute resolution. Writing had always been a much-loved activity, and she is happy to have a pursuit that allows her to work at home in sweat pants, drink loads of coffee, and engage in random fits of exercise when she needs a break. Susan lives in Toronto.
