After 20 years as a librarian and another 20 as a professor of library science and library historian, Suzanne Stauffer is moving on to her third career as a novelist. She was inspired by an exhibit on the Harvey House Couriers at El Tovar at the Grand Canyon and her research in women's history. When not writing, she can be found reading, baking, gardening, and binging t.v. westerns. She has lived and worked in Utah, Puerto Rico, Texas, Oklahoma, Spain, New York City, Los Angeles, and Baton Rouge. She now lives in Albuquerque with her Australian husband and brown and white spotted rat terrier dogter.
