She earned an advanced degree in Mas­sage Ther­apy from the Boul­der Col­lege of Mas­sage and cur­rently has a flour­ish­ing mas­sage ther­apy prac­tice in Mill Val­ley, Cal­i­for­nia. In addi­tion, she is an arti­san spe­cial­iz­ing in hand­made, recy­cled, vin­tage ear­rings avail­able across the coun­try under the name Tabernash.

When not mak­ing jew­elry or writ­ing, Sue blogs on Weight Watcher’s site and for the knit­ting com­mu­nity Raverly. She is card car­ry­ing PTA mom, some­times resent­ful car­pooler, and always lov­ing mother of two kind and sweet teenaged sons. She is mar­ried to a bonafide rocket sci­en­tist with MIT pedigree.

On any day of the week Sue can be found at yoga, the com­mu­nity pool, gar­den­ing, hik­ing, walk­ing the dogs, knit­ting, spin­ning wool or row­ing on San Fran­cisco Bay. She is proud to have spent less than five min­utes the last two decades think­ing about her for­mer career in geospa­tial soft­ware qual­ity assurance.
