Bio of Susan Dean Elzey I grew up as an Army brat, living all over the world, but found my home in Danville, Virginia, after my father retired when I was 15. Soon after, I fell in love with poetry and writing. I married way too young and realized I also had a love for babies and raising children. I raised my seven children as a full-time mom for many years. My oldest daughter, Dawn, is severely disabled with cerebral palsy, which informs every moment of my life. Returning to school after 17 years at home, I finished a degree in English and journalism and then later a master’s degree in literature. In a blended family, my husband, David, and I have nine children and right now 31 grandchildren. I spent many years as a newspaper reporter and now work as a mostly retired freelance writer and travel to visit my children and grandchildren, which brings me joy. I am the author of four novels, the last of which is Miracle of the Christmas Star, published in 2011 by Cedar Fort Inc. My other novels include You’re a Rock, Sister Lewis, published by Orson Scott Card’s Hatrack River Publications (1989); True Rings the Heart by Deseret Book (1990); and A Chance for Sarah with Cedar Fort (2005). I have been a weekly humor columnist for the Danville (Va.) Register & Bee with a Monday column entitled “7XMOM” for many years. My newspaper writing may be accessed at www.godanriver.com.
