Author Interview with Susan Old
Bio
I grew up in SoCal a hybrid Valley Girl/Hippie. I got a degree in Psychology and went to the Congo as a Peace Corps Volunteer. I grew up in Africa in many ways. I began writing fantasy there. When I returned to the U.S., I got a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psych and became an Addiction Therapist. I was married with kids, and my late husband had Multiple Sclerosis.

Maybe it was for the best because I really like the book, I completed 30 years later. Through breast cancer X2, young widowhood, lupus, etc. my kids and friends kept me going and encouraged me to write. One of my kids made me a refrigerator magnet of a vampire with bloody fangs for Mother’s…
