| Sue Cramer As a child, from spring to winter, and from dawn to dusk, I read! I devoured old and new books, classic and contemporary books. I read textbooks, encyclopedias, and even dictionaries for fun. I had the good fortune to develop a love of the written word in an unhurried world. Now, as a mother of three and a grandmother of one, I find it delightful to write stories for my own children to enjoy. I am actively involved in church activities, choirs, and service projects. I am married to a wonderful man who endures my tumultuous worries over my work with both grace and charm, and gives me unending support. Currently, I am employed as an editor for a new and exciting children's book publisher, and find that the simple joys in life - laughter, companionship, and common goals can all truly be wrapped up in one vocation. |
