Quotes by Susan Slater  (?)

“Actually, I’ve never trusted anyone with a clean desk—sterile desk, sterile mind.”
Susan Slater, The Pumpkin Seed Massacre

“I was so in awe of mystery writers—I figured if I could write a mystery and keep plots and sub-plots and red herrings, all twisted together, yet one supporting the other AND keep the readers guessing until the last; I could write anything! Every good book has a sense of mystery—the “something” that keeps the reader turning the pages. With all my degrees in Lit. and teaching all kinds of writing, learning to write a mystery was the best writing training I ever received.”
Susan Slater

“But no, do not dwell on things that cannot be changed - the past is done and over with; let it be.”
Susan Slater, Epiphany
