Susan J Bruce spent her childhood reading, drawing, and collecting stray animals. Now she's grown up, she does the same kinds of things. Susan worked for many years as a veterinarian, and now writes stories filled with mystery, suspense, heart and hope. A self-confessed animal addict, Susan finds that animals regularly run, jump, fly, crawl and skitter into her stories. Her writing group once challenged her to write a story that didn't mention any animals-she failed! You can find Susan online at https: //www.susanjbruce.com
