Following graduation from college, I worked in three different mayoral administrations for City of New York. My jobs primarily focused on equal rights and women’s issues. In 1979, I was instrumental in starting the nation’s first Sexual Harassment Prevention and Complaint Program. In the early 80s, I produced a radio show on women’s issues.

I did not begin writing to make money (few self-published authors ever make a profit). I write to share their stories, and maybe a bit of history, with as many readers as possible.(less)

Good morning Maureen,
Thank you for your kind note. I am sorry to say I have not received any offers from audio books companies to record EMBRACE THE WIND. Amazon does have something called "text-to-speech." This is the description:
Text-to-Speech is available for the Kindle Fire HDX, Kindle Fire HD, Kindle Fire, Kindle Touch, Kindle Keyboard, Kindle (2nd generation), Kindle DX, Amazon Echo, Amazon Tap, and Echo Dot.
I have never used it, but perhaps it can help you. Please let me know if it works. I would love to let others with sight problems know.
All the best to you,
Susan(less)

Greetings

I hope this blog finds you all healthy. Like many of you, I have been in lockdown for several months. During this time, I have learned life skills I never knew I needed, like sewing face masks, depositing a check through my smart phone (that thing really is smart), and I have almost mastered the art of ordering groceries online, with the exception of my order for twenty pounds of flour- if anyone Read more of this blog post »

Susan Denning answered a question about Embrace the Wind:
Embrace the Wind by Susan  Denning
Embrace the Wind was a six year project. As much as I love to write, I spend more time researching. I seem to have an obsession with facts. As a former college instructor, I expected accuracy from my students; I am equally demanding of myself.
