Susan PoundThe Adventures of Book Writing
Author--- a new and exciting venture, this grassroots publishing universe! Here is my Bernie-bio:
Susan Pound is a lifelong rescuer of insects that are in danger of drowning in Lake Michigan. She specializes in designing and building recycled safe havens for Lady Bugs and butterflies. Her driftwood cities also provide equal housing opportunities to soggy sand flies, bees and wasps. Susan receives tuition-free Bernie-education from her millennial son David, who served as a delegate in the 2016 Iowa caucuses. She currently resides in Long Beach, Indiana, where she is the Managing Director for the Dignified Retirement Home for Siamese Cats.

Susan Pound grew up in the Chicago area, right under the flight patterns of O’Hare Airport. She has always had the same four compulsions: writing, beach walking, trying to change the world, and salting food before tasting it.
Her career path took her down a variety of nitty-gritty, nonprofit roads—counseling, social services and education administration, grants development. For a long time, creative writing took a back seat.
This book journey changed all that.
Susan currently walks—and writes about people with a Berning desire to change the world—by the inspirational shores of Lake Michigan. She still shakes her salt too freely.
Other stuff:
"Left brain propensities don't exclude embracing all the juicy possibilities that life has to offer" --me
I enjoy exploring new worlds, through travel, books, dreamwork and journeying.
Rotarian with special interest in international projects, e.g., "Honor the Earth" environmental art contest for children. Past President Michigan City 2003-2004.
