My Story
Susan Leigh Carlton lives in an assisted facility in Lawrence, Kansas, She began writing and publishing on Amazon in August of 2012.
Susan observed the ninetieth anniversary of her birth on April 17th, 2024. She says, “I quit having birthdays, because they are so depressing. Now I have anniversaries of my birth. Susan and her husband celebrated their fifty-eighth wedding anniversary on April 16th, 2024, the day before her birthday.
She said, “One of the joys I get from writing is the emails I receive from readers that have read and liked my books. I even like the letters that are critical of the writing because it means the writer cared enough to take the time to write.
