The Booger Monster under my Bed
Coming soon!!!
Hi, I’m Susan. I’m a Texas-based author, proud wife, and devoted mother to three amazing children. When I’m not juggling the beautiful chaos of family life, you can usually find me getting lost in the pages of a good book or crafting stories of my own. My love for reading and writing began in childhood, when I’d spend hours escaping into imaginary worlds. That early passion only grew stronger. Now, I’m thrilled to share my own stories with readers who love to get swept away by heart, mystery, and a little adventure.
The fastest safe path would be one focused branch from the current GitHub main, one combined implementation, one lab QA pass across the carousel/cards/minimal/editorial layouts, and one Codex checkpoint before merge. We should build from the current stable Core baseline rather than the older uploaded 0.8.0 ZIP; the documented current Core baseline is 0.10.0 and the existing public review layouts are considered sensitive and should be preserved.
What better way to teach your kids about overcoming jealousy than to read this fun book with your kiddos. My daughter loves Matilda Mae and I love the messages that these books bring. I can’t wait for the next one.What better way to teach your kids about overcoming jealousy than to read this fun book with your kiddos.

Hi, I’m Susan, and this is how my journey began…
As a child, I was the kid who reached for the bright, silly book. I liked reading the ones that made you laugh out loud but always carried a quiet lesson underneath. I fell in love with stories by Judy Blume, Beverly Cleary, and Francine Pascal. Their books felt honest, playful, and full of heart.
As I grew into my teen years, my bookshelf changed. The stories became darker, more suspenseful, and a little more unsettling. I found myself drawn to the eerie twists of R.L. Stine, the haunting intensity of V.C. Andrews, and the chilling, unforgettable worlds created by Stephen King.
Somewhere between those two shelves, I realized I didn’t have to choose between light and dark—I could write both!
Today, I create children’s books that reflect the warmth and meaning I loved as a kid, the stories that help young readers build confidence, feel seen, and embrace exactly who they are. At the same time, I explore the darker side of storytelling through psychological thrillers, where I dive into the complexities of identity, obsession, and the hidden truths people carry.
It may seem like two very different worlds, but to me, they’re deeply connected. Both ask the same question in different ways: who are we, really?
Through school visits, community events, and connecting with readers of all ages, I love sharing stories that spark something—whether it’s confidence, curiosity, or that chill of a story that keeps
you up just a little too late.
Because whether it’s light or dark, funny or unsettling, the best stories are the ones that stay with you long after the final page.
