Susan Van Kirk is the Past President of the Guppy Chapter of Sisters in Crime and a writer of cozy mysteries. She lives at the center of the universe-the Midwest-and writes during the ridiculously cold and icy winters. Why leave the house and break something? Van Kirk taught forty-four years in high school and college and raised three children. She has eleven grandchildren who look up the hardest words they can find and dare her to use them in her books. She's a member of Sisters in Crime and Mystery Writers of America.
