Born in 1971, I am a third-generation native
Arizonan. My grandfather’s family arrived
here from Missouri in 1912, just after Arizona
became a state. Thanks to his stories and
those of my other family members, I know
how Arizona used to be and how it is today.
I have lived in and around Phoenix for most
of my life, and I still wonder from time to
time why anyone would choose to move here.
Lately, though, I’ve looked around my hometown and realized that the most fascinating part of Phoenix is how willingly we adopt the strangers who, for one reason or another, choose to settle here. Surrounded by prickly saguaros, beaten down by the glaring sun, we gather here and choose our friends with no regard to their ethnic backgrounds or what neighborhood they grew up in.
After years of working as an editor and a writer for local companies, I began my wished-for career as a novelist in 2009. I have completed four books so far, and am currently hard at work on the fifth.
I'd love to hear from you! You can email me at susanwellsbennett@yahoo.com.
Happy reading!
