About Susan

Artist, illustrator, and tea snob, Susan Dobis is the author of the upcoming YA Fantasy novel Into Draewood. Susan loves writing stories that change the way we see the world while inciting an abundance of smirks with her snarky humor. When not furiously typing away on her computer, she can be found exploring the great outdoors, in her garden, or sneaking chocolate (the darker the better)… all while drinking her favorite tea, of course! She is often distracted by the characters that dance in her head, begging for their story to be told.
