InterestsSusan is a life-long organic gardener with a passion for sustainable gardening, self-sufficiency, hydroponic gardening, and aquaponics. In addition to writing, Susan B is a collector of houseplants, flowering plants, and tropical plants. Her obsession with hummingbirds prompted her to learn about flowering plants to attract them, and she uses that knowledge to grow plants that attract pollinating insects and birds and growing native and drought-tolerant plants in her small apartment garden space and on her patio. Susan grew up in a musical household. Her father's love of music and his talent and popularity as a classical violist in some of the nation's most well-known orchestras inspired her to pursue a degree in Music History. Susan has written program notes, biographical profiles of composers and musicians, and in-depth research reports on topics related to Baroque music and performance practice. Her interest in Music History led her to Iowa City where she spent several years studying calligraphy, bookbinding, printmaking, and papermaking. She spent many years as a member of the University of Iowa Book Arts Club before enrolling in the newly-formed and accredited Graduate Certificate Program in Book Arts. While there, she studied Latin, Medieval Latin Paleography, and focused on studies related to the History of Books. After completing and defending her thesis, she became a member of the first class of students to graduate from the program. Susan loves doing crossword puzzles and playing word games, reading historical mysteries, and listening to classical music. Other interests include train travel, bird watching, swimming, exercising, and spending time with family. |
