Susan grew up in Yarmouth, Maine, home of the Yarmouth Clam Festival. She and her younger brother and sisters spent their free time roaming the woods and byways of their neighborhood. Her descriptions of a younger Noah Drinkwater's activities are loosely based on her memories of those days.
After college Susan not only visited libraries and book dealers, she also worked in several. With her husband, she visited many areas of the country but was never far from water, especially the Atlantic Ocean. Her love of the natural world has never changed.
Susan enjoys reading, writing, travel, spending time with her family, and daydreaming. Eventually, the daydreaming led her to the writing.
While in Maine Susan often thought about writing a book, but it took thirteen years in Florida to turn her into a Maine writer. Susan is descended through her mother from a Portland, Maine sea captain, named Drinkwater, who sailed around the world, and decided the name was perfect for her fictional Police Chief Noah Drinkwater.

I'm behind on my reading of the Noah Drinkwater mysteries. This one has both a complex mystery, with government corruption(!), and a surprising bit of major character development. I'm curious where the series goes from here.
