Hello! I’m Susan.
I love to write.
Daydream, actually.
And bake, and cook, and drive, and read, and play about with all kinds of creative possibilities.
Most of all, I like to meet new people because I learn so much when I listen to and talk with folks who have wonderful stories to tell and new perspectives to share.
Here you’ll find my short stories for quiet moments, cookbooks for the hangries, poetry that intrigues, activity books that motivate, and even writing prompts to encourage your own creativity.
Thank you for being part of this wordy adventure.

What People Are Saying
For The Hangry Cookbook:
“The author has the non-gourmet cook in mind with this collection of recipes. She casually talks you through things you might not have attempted to accomplish in the kitchen before. I appreciate that meals are simple using less ingredients and taking less time to prepare and yet still delicious enough for your family and company…
After reading some of Susan Ray's recipes in this book you will feel like you just made a new friend.”
— Amazon reviewFor Stories for Every Season:
“I'm so glad I purchased this book. I've always wanted to be able to write stories that others find interesting or just write for myself. This book helps get the mind and pen in motion…
I also enjoy reading the fun facts and recipes that follow each prompt. Susan Ray gives the reader advice on removing old wallpaper. She is full of tips and tried and true helpful advice.”
— Amazon review
For Stories for Every Season:
“Stories for Every Season is the perfect book. Yes, it is filled with interesting writing prompts, but the book also contains interesting facts, historical information, and even delicious recipes.
