About the Author
Susan Reid lives in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. Originally, Susan came from Germany in 1952 to this community of many people of European descent. All of her adult life was spent here, as an artist she has her work hanging in clubs and restaurants, billboards or murals in the Waterloo, Wellington and Wilmot County. Since her children were all grown up and she had retired from work, there were many memories she wanted to put to paper or canvas, either to paint them or write about them. Not content to only paint, she had also discovered the wonderful world of writing. You can transport yourself into another life or time. This adventure into the world of fantasy is not only exciting but also lets you escape from the doldrums of everyday life. Her last book was a seasonal story about Santa Claus. The beginning of a New Year opened up the door to an adventure of a new story line, "Lucy's Locket," which is just the beginning of many stories to follow.
