About Me

Been with my high school sweetheart, my precious Steve, for over 20 years. My dearest love has just returned from overseas and finally retired from the Marine Corps. We have three babies, Steve III-18 yrs old, Miss Minnie-13 yrs old, and Ben-man who's 7 yrs old. I'm an author and my first book "Goodbye, Mama" is currently out. You can find me on the web if you google "goodbye, mama Susan A. Lewis". My book is being sold pretty much anywhere you can order it. It is also listed as a resource by the American Cancer Survivors Network. Obviously, it's about my Mama...her battle with and death from Leukemia, and then my depression brought on by her death. This book is a collection of poems and short stories, the poems are how I dealt with my grief over losing my hero, and the short stories are a celebration of an angels wisdom through a horrific life that we led together. I wrote this book because Mama made me promise to and I wrote it because I had to in order to stay sane. I hope it helps others who find themselves in similar situations...YOU ARE NOT ALONE. I've just recently finished writing my second book and it should be out before the end of the year. Now I can relax for a bit... I can relax now, right? Am I allowed to do that finally?I also had the priviledge of teaching poetry at my childrens elementary school for the last three years. I will hold onto the memory of each and every one of those sweet babies that I taught for the rest of my life, and I hope that they hold onto the knowledge that words are more than just letters put together...WORDS CAN BE ART. Poetry is in my blood and I love everything about it...I truly do.

~no more, no less~
