Suzanne Cidell

Author/Writer

Suzanne began writing stories and essays as a child. She paused her writing to complete a Bachelor of Science degree in botany and a Masters in social work and to raise her two children. An invitation to assist a friend who was struggling with writer’s block revived her own passion for storytelling. That was all the impetus needed for the floodgates to open. “The Arts of Love and War” poured into Suzanne’s mind; the voices of David and Susannah were so insistent that she would wake in the night and put them to paper. She had no idea of this writing ever becoming a book; it was just for fun. The book was written when Suzanne was in her thirties. It lay dormant for three decades except for the enthusiastic reviews of the few friends allowed to read it. Now, with the help of her friends and family, “The Arts of Love and War” has been unveiled and offered to the world. She feels honored to have been entrusted with the privilege of giving birth to David and Susannah’s story. Somewhere, they are rejoicing.

Suzanne has written a fictionalized account of how “The Arts of Love and War” came into being. This is her next published work, “The Still Face Experiment”.

Suzanne lives in New York with her husband and two adorable French Bulldogs. She has worked in French Bulldog rescue in past years. She is also a certified second-degree Reiki practitioner and an avid birder. Suzanne was a librarian for eighteen years and also taught and performed bellydance. She is currently traveling the world and has been to twenty-eight countries. Her favorite so far is Iceland, the setting of her next book. Watch her website for further details.
