Susan M Boyer

Bio

Born and raised in Faith, North Carolina, Susan M. Boyer was blessed with a quintessential small-town childhood. She’s had a life-long love affair with books, and is grateful to have been gifted with an over-active imagination. She's been making things up and writing them down her whole life.

Susan took a sampler’s approach to education. She attended N.C. State University, Catawba College, and College of Charleston. She has a long list of majors, one of which was English. Unfortunately, none of the above institutions could be convinced that her hodgepodge of credits—though impressive in number—merited awarding Susan a degree.

Because computer programming offered a steady paycheck, Susan practiced that art for a while, and then segued into systems analysis, and later project management.

But her day job interfered with her writing habit, so in 2004 Susan had to give up rush hour, project plans, and staff meetings. Susan served on the South Carolina Writers’ Workshop board of directors for four years, two as chairperson for the organization’s annual conference. She’s a member of RWA (PRO), MWA, and Sisters in Crime.

Susan's short fiction has appeared in Spinetingler Magazine, Relief Journal, the Petigru Review, and Catfish Stew. Relief Journal selected one of her short stories for the editor’s choice award in fiction, and another piece was recognized by The Carrie McCray Memorial Awards. She is working on her second novel.
