Suzanne Norquist serves as the treasurer to her local ACFW chapter and co-leads the chapter's critique group. She completed the Christian Writers' Guild's Apprentice Class and has attended and helped organize numerous writers' conferences. She holds a doctorate in economics and a bachelor's degree in chemistry. As a result, she has worked at many jobs that sound interesting. Her work frequently involves technical writing, where the attorneys insist on two spaces after every period. Her husband and adult children make sure she doesn't take herself too seriously. In her free time (what little there is), she participates in kickboxing fitness and mountain climbing in Colorado.
