Sue Scott passed away on March 19, 2008. She will be missed by all who were lucky enough to know her.

Susan Scott is a goof, who has lived all over the US, and takes nothing seriously. She's currently perched in front of her computer in Maryland, but when wanderlust strikes, she'll pack up and travel at the drop of a free plan ticket. Oh yeah, and she has the cliched requisite two cats, who do the housework. And she's had some stuff published, much to her, not to mention the editors' amazement. Sue can often be heard saying, "And grammar is what?" Sue is Creative Director for the Long Story Short School of Writing. See Sue's webpage in our Writers' Lodge.
