Having left the public work force in 2007, Susan Howell now finds time to pursue writing. She has authored a children’s teaching series, as well as numerous poems, puppet plays, and stories. Susan was born and raised in Waukegan, Illinois. At the age of 18, she moved to Tennessee, where she resides with her husband Larry and their amazing boxer dog, Elizabeth Grace, “Gracie”. Susan was in her 20’s where her mother passed away at age 48. Her older sister, Cindy, lived to be only 43 years old. Their early departure from this life has helped shape her thinking. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a possibility but we do have today. Live it now. Live it big. Cherish those whom God has entrusted to your care. Make your moments count. Run your race, finish your course, and fulfill your destiny. Susan’s writing comes from life experiences. Much like a parable, her writing describes natural events with spiritual and life lessons to be gleaned. It is her privilege to share her heart with you.
