In addition to writing poetry, fiction, and nonfiction books and magazine articles, Susanna is an advocate for those who cannot speak for themselves. Susanna’s story “Charidy’s Case” was recently chosen as a finalist for NPR’s Three-Minute Fiction Contest. Her first book, UNHEARD: a memoir, is based on her childhood experiences. Susanna’s next book will be available in the latter part of 2011. It is a combination of writing and diary entries from her teenage years.
