About

Susan Dobis is many things: artist and illustrator, wife and mother of four grown children, tea snob, and the author of The Draewood Series, an upcoming four-book Young Adult Fantasy series. Her dream has always been to author inspiring books that change the way we see the world. Not an easy task, but her imagination and wordsmithing are up to the task. She has published two animated children’s books with Interactive Touch Books, written short stories, designed game worlds, and is well on her way to publishing her first full-length novel, Into Draewood!

An avid reader, Susan has read countless books across most genres, though Fantasy is the black hole that keeps pulling her in. Her children often remark on her brisk reading pace, not just jumping from book to book but series to series with lightning speed. Apparently, they find it shocking that she can read the entire Harry Potter series in a mere week or two.

When she’s not writing, reading, or reading about writing, Susan loves to be outdoors. Her favorite pastime is hiking through the magnificent forests in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and waterfall hunting. Due to her risk-taking tendency while hiking, sometimes the waterfalls almost catch her instead, causing panic among those around her! If she’s not hiking, she can usually be found tending her gardens full of roses, lilies, and fruit.
