Suzanne has written books, three published and four on the way, in a variety of genres: fiction, non-fiction, and poetry.
She has the unusual distinction of being an author of "traditional history" as well as a pioneer in a new genre, "metaphysical history." She has written a well-regarded book of traditional history, "Jefferson's Godfather: The Man Behind the Man," a biography of Thomas Jefferson's influential mentor George Wythe, signer of the Declaration of Independence, America's first professor of law, senior statesman, and model for the ethical Servant Leader. Soon to be published is a related book, "First in Law, First in Leadership: The College of William & Mary."
More recently, she boldly explored what Jefferson might have to say to us from his current place in spirit, in the book "The Metaphysical Thomas Jefferson." This premiered on Amazon as the Number One New Release in Political Commentary. Her next books in this genre: "The Metaphysical Leonard Cohen: The Last Interview" and "The Metaphysical Van Gogh."
Her latest book, "Of Loss and Love: A Journey of the Heart," takes an entirely new turn. This is a series of reflections that she began after the loss of her husband several years ago. The book's beautiful passages offer insights on dealing with grief, learning to live mindfully, and searching for the love of a new partner later in life.
