Susan Gabriel writes with passion, humor and insight
about Southerners, both wise and wounded; teens, both
ordinary and odd; and the people who love them, both
explicit and unconscious. While she at times has written
plays, poetry and nonfiction (see
her blog),
Susan primarily writes novels and short stories.
Secrets figure prominently in Susan's work, secrets we keep from ourselves and the ones we keep from others, secrets we dare not tell and the ones we must reveal in order to survive.
Susan recognizes few labels other than "human" ("I'm a writer,
not a genre" she says) and delights in the feedback from her
readers from Portugal to Portland, New York to New Zealand.
