“I knew I would become an author since I was a child. I just didn’t know how I was going to bring that bucket-list item to fruition while raising a family and working full time,” Susan Rose stated. But, with many years of late nights and weekends spent at home writing, she did just that with her exciting, new novel, “Shattered Crust: Yellowstone Bites Back.”

“I enjoyed visiting Yellowstone as a child. There’s just something magical about that place. When I tried to think of a mysterious place that would support my ideas of bringing legends to life, I couldn’t think of any better location than Yellowstone to become the backdrop for my book.”

Almost every summer growing up, my family and I would travel to the Yellowstone area. When I was five, my extended family came with us for the adventure.
I vaguely recollect the trip, due to my young age, but I'm reminded of it often! Usually, I'm told that I was a horrible brat on that vacation.
My family, my grandparents and my aunt, uncle and cousins had found a campground just outside of Yello Read more of this blog post »

Susan’s Quotes

“Molly grabbed a vase off the mantel and flung it at the wall, knocking it into a painting of a mountain scene. The vase shattered and the picture frame swayed back and forth on the wall, taunting her with an image of what life was supposed to be like. . .”
