Susan Garner Mitchell: Ways to Express Ourselves Through Writing

Ways to Express Ourselves Through Writing

January 19, 2018

Presenting "Ways to Express Ourselves Through Writing" to the second graders at the

Meridian World School. The children actively participated with numerous questions and the teacher interviewed her as the students looked on. She read one of the stories from her book "The Saga of Gus, the Ghost-Face Dog." "We love the passion she has for writing adventure stories for kids!"

Then I received these thank you notes--how sweet!

Susan Garner Mitchell grew up in a small town in the Texas Hill Country with three brothers and had many adventures while exploring on their grandparent's ranch. She knows a lot of the history and natural environment of the area in which she writes. When Ethan, her oldest grandson, was 5 years old, Susan started writing stories with him. Ethan had a wonderful imagination and started contributing ideas for the stories as he became older. Now their other four grandchildren are also characters in the stories. When Ethan was 6 years old, he was diagnosed with Leukemia, and passed away before he reached the age of 9. A percentage of book sales is donated to a fund for sending children to youth camp. When Susan is not working in the insurance industry or reading to children, she is playing and exploring with her grandchildren.
