Susan grew up in Yarmouth, Maine, an historical town on the banks of the Royal River. She and her younger brother and sisters spent their time roaming the woods and byways of their small town. Her descriptions of a younger Noah Drinkwater's activities in the first book of her series are loosely based on her memories of those days.
After college Susan was hired for a position assisting the Librarian of the small, but popular Jane L. Burbank Branch, the first branch of the Portland, ME Library System. Later, she added a central character to the Series who is the Town Librarian and gave her an important role in each book of the Series. Susan and her husband spent their vacations from work exploring many areas of the country but were never far from water, especially the Atlantic Ocean. Her love of the natural world has not changed.
Susan enjoys reading, writing, travel, spending time with her family, and daydreaming. Eventually, the daydreaming led her to the writing.
While in Maine Susan often thought about writing a book, but it took thirteen years in Florida to turn her into a Maine writer. Susan is descended through her mother from a Portland, Maine sea captain, named Drinkwater, who sailed around the world, and decided the name was perfect for her fictional Police Chief Noah Drinkwater.
