Susan K. Marlow
HOMESCHOOL MOM BY DAY . . . NOVEL WRITER BY NIGHT. Susan started writing stories at age ten. While homeschooling teens and caring for toddlers during the day, she slipped into the Old West at night to write her “Andi” adventures — never expecting to become a published author.
That changed in 2005 with the release of Andrea Carter and the Long Ride Home. Susan quickly discovered it was far more fun to share her stories with readers than to keep them tucked away.
Since then, Susan has written six series (38 books) and has over 225,000 books in print with Kregel Publications. She enjoys helping young writers improve their craft thorough her Writing Workshop, and she also works as a freelance editor. Susan and her husband, Roger, live on nine acres of ponderosa pine at 3,500 feet in north-central Washington state.
