Meet Suzanne.
Read a story. Become transported.
It’s the endless magic of words.
—Suzanne Ste. Therese
The 11th of 12 children, Suzanne Ste. Therese grew up on a 72-acre farm in California's Sacramento Valley. She wrote her first book when she was nine, On the Farm, winning the coveted Blue Ribbon in her elementary school's Book Fair. Suzanne pursued landscape architecture for 20 plus years before a serious injury led to a life-changing transition into writing after finding a flier for a writing group at her local Trader Joe's. Years later, Suzanne introduces us to the novel Collage, in which a young girl must solve a mystery while taking on adult challenges with creativity and competence and a series of short stories encompassing a family's travails as they grow.
Suzanne received bachelor's degrees at Loyola Marymount University in English literature and urban landscape architecture at City University of New York. She currently studies at Sarah Lawrence Writing Institute, and her short stories have been published in a variety of journals. She resides in Norwalk, Connecticut, on the Five Mile River.
