The daily experiences of living the rural lifestyle, raising children, cattle, horses, dogs and other creatures, provide countless experiences that often find their way into her poems. She has two self-published poetry books, Whistling in the Wind and Musings from the Outhouse. Susan travels to many gathering and festivals sharing her poetry with those who come to listen.
