Author Biography
Susan L. Metzger's success as an author has focused on works for children ages 7 and up, including her Spirit Dogs trilogy under pen name Susan Kelleher. She began writing her first novel when she was in second grade and won numerous fiction-writing contests. She went on to earn a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing degree from Western Michigan University after completing an MS in Counseling Psychology and an MBA in Organizational Behavior. Her work life has revolved around both counseling and the teaching of college English and Literature. She is a dog, cat, and horse lover and an avid hiker and bicycler where she lives in Colorado. She also plays the viola and violin in various orchestras and chamber groups. Because she taught university-level English Composition for many years, she believes that children need to learn correct grammar and mechanics as early as possible so that writing college research papers will be a friendly experience.
