Susan Kay PhillipsAs a child, stories were a big part of life. My family cherished stories. Family gatherings were laced with favorites. These stories took me to magical places. I loved hearing them over and over. As an adult, I had the great good fortune to live in acommunity on a farm in the Driftless area of southwestern Wisconsin. We had horses, a huge vegetable garden, glorious potlucks, festivals, music, an Asian import shop in our converted barn, and many adventures. More stories. In my work life, I established a private psychotherapy practice working with adults, particularly adults from the HIV-AIDS community. As a psychotherapist, I listened to many stories. In these stories, I met frightening monsters, experienced many wonders, and witnessed great courage and healing.I am a great fan of children's picture books, reading, gifting, and collecting many favorites. One day, quite serendipitously, a phrase popped into my head that led to writing a rhyming picture book. I had so much fun with the writing, I was captured. I've been writing children's picture books since.Currently, I have one children's picture book, BIMBY AND THE BUNNY, published as a both an e-book and a print book. I am working to publish non-fiction picture book, EVERYONE WILL BE FREE: Thomas Clarkson and the End of Slavery in the British Empire. I love horses, cats, singing, knitting, physics, math, and stargazing. Read More Read Less
