Something About Me and My Book:
I live with my husband of over 28 years, 3 dogs, and a barn cat in a very rural area. Our children are grown and we have two lovely granddaughters. We taught Country/Western Dancing for many, many years before we moved here a little over 10 years ago. I have taught the 4 agreements as well as workshops on creating your heart's desire and The Celestine Prophecy.

My first book called Life is Like Making Chocolate Chip Cookies was officially published January 2, 2008, not because of anything I have done, but because Spirit gave it to me and gave me the means to get it published. I was led to write it. I was given the tools. And... I was even blessed with the money to make it happen without having to take it from our very limited income. No one can tell me there is no God. No one can tell me that he doesn't supply our needs. No one can tell me he doesn't answer prayer.

If you are interested in an autographed copy of my book the website to place an order is http://lifeislike.suesunshine.com. Non-signed copies are also available on Amazon.com. Here is what just one person has said about Life is Like Making Chocolate Chip Cookies:

"I received your book as a gift from a friend for Christmas and I enjoyed it tremendously. I got to the point where I was looking forward to one more chocolate chip cookie addition in the book. Isn't that so like life though? Just about the time we think that is all there is and bang we get a little more to chew on. LOL I loved this book as it was easy to read, yet said so much and it was done with love, laughter and much wisdom. Thank-you for sharing you gift with us all. Looking forward to more." ~Phyllis

Having been married to the same man for 26 years has given me a wealth of lessons on relationships. I worked with a psychologist friend who has literally pushed me into writing one of the many books inside of me. He has always said I have a story in me. In fact, more than one story. I quite agree.

Since joining this network I have learned so much and come a long way on my book journey. I want to thank each and every one here who has helped me personally. I also want to thank those of you who have posted great information for all of us to learn, to grow, and to publish. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!!!

I will still have questions. Hopefully soon I will be able to help and answer other people's questions. Wouldn't that be a great thing to be able to do?

    So glad to have you aboard! It was a huge learning curve for me as well-this marketing a book - and of course there are lots of talented people here - so I think you've come to the right place.
    Just know that whatever I've learned, I'll be happy to share.

    Hi Susie, I just adore your name. It makes me smile! I applaud your efforts at getting a website up. I know how challenging it is when I write my Blue Turtle Crossing poetry e-zine from scratch. I'm working on it right now & my eyes are getting fuzzy from html code. Look forward to talking with you!

    Hi Susie! I have a friend and her name is Judy Ayyildiz. In English that is Judy Moonlight. When she visits Turkey where I have lived nearly 30 years, and own and run an English bookshop, she introduces herself for fun as Mrs Judy Moonlight to children when we do special seminars for them.

    I want to say congratulations on being married to the same man for 26 years. Wonderful. I am single and believe this right for me because of my work and where I am. I also write for a newspaper here as a columnist. Feel free to browse it and give me some comments:

    Hi Susie,
    I noticed on the discussion "What books have you written?" that you are writing a workbook for "Life is Like Making Chocolate Chip Cookies". This is something that I'm trying to piece together for my high fantasy novel "The Tapestry Chronicles: Born with Power of the Divine". Could we chat?

    Hi Susie Sunshine! We all could use a little sunshine on these boards. Not unlike most writers, I sometimes run low on confidence. Welcome!
  • Rita Schiano

    Best of luck. I think you were smart to start your own company. More writers should take back that control. Best of luck. - Rita
  • Pastor Sharon Billington
