About the Author
When I was 7 years old, I decided that I wanted to be a writer. That decision led me to study English and journalism at the University of Texas-Austin and to earn a master's degree in creative writing from the University of Southern California.I became a magazine editor, gravitating to magazines aimed at tweens (Disney Adventures) , teens (On Your Own) and college students (Campus Voice) .Other adventures: I've taken playwriting and screenwriting classes (and produced one of my plays) ...learned how to box and got into the ring three times as part of "white-collar fight" events...and tried kayaking, flying on a trapeze and cross-country skiing because, well, why not? I also like to make collages, quilt, go on hiking vacations and (of course!) read. Please visit my website at www.suzanneharper.com.
