SUSAN FRAMPTON Writer & Editor

Never dreaming that anyone would read her ramblings, Susan Frampton scribbled her way through two wildly different careers before accidently becoming a writer. These days, when away from the keyboard, she follows the antics of her accident-prone husband, nurses pinecone-swallowing wiener dogs, reads late into the night, and counts her many blessings.
