She's Here




Lookeee here what came knocking at my door today.. My baby that I've nourished for so long.
Almost a year to be exact. Whewww, it takes a lot to put a book together and lay it out. This one is much more thick and got a lot more in it than my first one did. 155 Pages with 102 Poems/ Stories.  I sure hope everyone enjoys it as much as I enjoyed writing it. As ya'll know by now this old gal is down home country and don't know any other way to be. What I write comes straight from my heart, nothing fancy or frilly. 

Like several folks have told me, writing and publishing a book is like having a youngun. You nourish it and baby it until it can walk on it's on and you nourish some more. I believe this with all of my heart and I'm quite proud of it if I say so myself. 

Echoes Of Time is just that, Echoes that have called to me from the shores of time and buried in my memories. Sometimes I get carried away when it comes to writing about my past but a dear friend reminded me that when we're gone the memories will go too. I want my family to look back upon those memories and they may not be able to comprehend it all but my hope is they'll cherish them and hold them close to their heart. My main reason for writing is the enjoyment I feel. There's nothing like it in the world. I'm in my own little world and sometimes I scare my own self, like when I got something on the stove or in the oven. Almost burnt the bread the other day trying to jot something down and got carried away..lol. Oh well, my husband has come to know me and he tends to go behind me alot, that is when he's not working.. Ok enough of that. Hope ya'll have a great evening and night. As for me I probably won't sleep tonight..

If ya'll want one you can email me at    swansonsusie@gmail.com   I will give you the info on it, price, address, etc. Many Thanks, Susie

  7. Yaaaay Susie, your book came out! Yes, I want one for sure! Please let me know how to get one. I will sit there and read it and think of my dear blog friend. I'm sure it is fantastic, as everything you write comes straight from the heart. I have been writing short stories for my children, so that they will know who their mom was, and they can pass them on to their kids too.

    I am so happy for you, Susie. You must have a BIG grin on your face these days.

    Love you,
