Suzanne Grant, who spent her growing up years in the rural farm setting of Central Oregon's high desert, admits she is enamored of her state's beauty, its cultural and geographic diversity, its people and, in particular, its historical mysteries. Prevalent in her writing is her fascination with the ways in which the past reaches out to impact who we are today. Life experience is her writing foundation. She writes from the heart. Through strong development of characters and setting, she shares parts of herself while weaving mystery-driven tales that transport readers into unique times and places.
The freedom to fashion words into stories, to create characters and then drop them into a particular setting and provide opportunities for them to make life changing decisions is Suzanne's delight. She finds that her characters miraculously take on a life of their own to help guide their meanderings and the plot's twists and turns. At the end of a day of writing, she often finds herself staring at the computer screen, murmuring, "Wow! Where did that come from?" Then she sighs blissfully and says a prayer of thanks that she can join her characters the next day to discover what they'll be up to next.
