Who is Susabelle?
Susabelle
Kelmer is a mother, a wife, a geek, and a writer.
She
started writing romance novels when she was twelve years old, all of
which are still archived in a battered, dusty binders hidden away in
the basement. Most of the stories had a beginning, some had a
middle, and none had endings.
Along came college, and then marriage and children, and writing was
forgotten. In the late 1990's, she began writing a personal
blog, before blogging was "in," recording some of the humorous and
not-so-humorous parts of life as a single mom, and her eventual
marriage to her Knight in Shining Armor. By 2003, she heard
about and joined in an adventure in writing known as National Novel
Writing Month. In November, 2003, she wrote the first rough
draft of her life that included a beginning, middle, and end.
The 50,000-word challenge of National Novel Writing Month
produced a novel of 96,000 words written in 23 days.
That story became Second
Chances, her first completed, published novel, released in
2005. Two more novels followed, and others are in the works.
Susabelle lives in the midwest with her Knight in Shining Armor, her
two daughters, and two snooty cats.
