I’ve so far resisted having any kind of regular blog because I haven’t had time to nurse it and give it the attention it deserves. But now that I’m a full-time writer (sort of) I figured it was time to get out there with my thoughts and links. So this is it. We’ll see how it go!
For those who don’t know me from elsewhere, I write historical fiction. I have (almost) three YA novels published and two adult. My background is music history, but I’ve gone on from there to explore many different historical subjects, mostly having to do with young women facing difficult situations and managing to find ways that are acceptable within their worlds to overcome them.
I’ll do my best to find interesting things to say, and wonderful people to invite to guest blog here. If you’re interested, have a book coming out (especially historical fiction or YA), email me atsusannedunlap at mac dot com.

Congrats on starting a blog Susan! Enjoy this new room of your own, and time dedicated to just writing (and reading, observing, research et cetera).
Hi Susanne,
We sat by each other during lunch at the SCBWI conference. I have enjoyed exploring your website and look forward to reading your books! Susan and I are in the process of revising our current YA novel and hope to submit it to several publishers/editors that we met at the conference. Wish us luck!
Hi Laurie! I remember you. Thanks for commenting. Best of luck to you!
