Susanna F

My name is Susanna.

I love writing, and have written stories since I could spell. I write mostly fiction and poems, and have had several poems published. As a full-time working wife and mom, I haven't had a lot of free time the last couple of years, and I'm doing more reading and proofreading. Let me know if you need help preparing a ms for publication!

My inspirations:
I love words. I've always had a love of naming. I read a lot of fantasy fiction, which reminds me of dreaming with its poetry, symbolism and archetypal imagery. I use my dreams for story scenes and plots a lot.

Some of the authors who inspire me are Susanna Clarke, Susan Cooper, Michael Ende, Meredith Ann Pierce, Patricia McKillip, Robin McKinley, Ursula LeGuin, JRR Tolkien, Lord Dunsany, George MacDonald, Patricia Wrede, Philip Pullman, Garth Nix, Neil Gaiman, Madeleine L'Engle, Zilpha Keatley Snyder, Lloyd Alexander, CS Lewis, Lewis Carrol, Shakespeare, and many more classics.

I am happily married and situated in the Tucson area of Arizona with my family: singer/songwriter/guitarist husband, tech-saavy son, strong-willed daughter, and four crazy dogs.

Current Projects:

An alternate Earth where other dimensions have "broken" our physics, making magic and mythic creatures much more common...
