It’s entirely Diana Gabaldon’s fault that I write the novels I always wanted to read but could never find. Caught up in the spirituality that peppered the globe in the eighties, I wanted to know how to live a life based on the spiritual ideals that so inspired me. As part of that journey, I learned more from novels about how to apply and live the principles than from self-help books. My books are meant to entertain, educate, and enlighten.
Joy to you,
Susan
I have the very first essay I ever wrote. The first sentence reads, “I like to think about fairies and witches.” Out of the mouths of babes. . . . You should have seen my face when I learned (because I was producing and directing a performance-art piece of all 150 psalms) that those words come from the Psalms. Well, yeah. . . .
I’ve been writing for a long, long time. Writing as a spiritual practice and writing as an art form have been the intertwined disciplines by which I create the narratives of my life. It’s how I understand myself, others, and the world. And yes, I use the Oxford comma. There’s more on the About page for inquiring minds who want to know.
