One of eleven children, Susan Meier was raised on a small farm in western Pennsylvania and attributes her love of stories and writing to lying in grassy fields staring at the clouds daydreaming!

Susan is an avid but terrible golfer, and a woman who desperately wants to learn to cook without having to involve the fire department. Her goals include getting involved with blogging-but hopes no one is holding his or her breath waiting for that-losing fifteen pounds-don't hold your breath on that one either-and figuring out the financing for an ocean front condo in Virginia Beach. She swears she will wear SPF thirty sunblock and never subject anyone to the site of her in a bikini! (Unless asked-and paid...handsomely.)

Though in the city now, she still lives in Pennsylvania with her husband, three children and two very personable cats. Susan loves hearing from fans and can be reached through her website above.

She is a keen gardener and cook and enjoys running on the beach with her Jack Russell. Kim lives in Wales.
