Engineers like to solve problems.
If there are no problems handily available, they will create their own problems.

I am Suzi. Part-time writer. Occasional engineer. Full time mother. No wonder I have no time.

I started this blog to share my experiences about trying to get my novels published. So I’ll have some about that. Some about writing. Some about reading. Some about my children. And whatever else I feel like saying.

My writing interests lie mostly with contemporary young adult, but I enjoy reading all young adult, along with adult contemporary, fantasy, horrors and thrillers.

I am currently a stay-at-home mom of two kids and haven’t worked full time as a civil engineer since my son was born.

My writing life.

I had a short stint as a writer in my junior high years and I still have the handwritten pages to prove it. I started many stories, but didn’t finish most. I even have all my ideas for my Sweet Valley High knockoff–a D for originality there.

I started a middle grade story in the early 2000s, but set it aside due to necessary research.

In January 2010 I started writing some adult fiction. In August I wrote my first young adult novel and since then the words just keep coming.
