Susan Evans lives in the beautiful mountains of West Virginia with her husband, Don, of 38 years. They have two sons, two daughters, two sons-in-law, a daughter-in-law, four grandsons and a granddaughter. She and her husband have pastored their current church for 30 years. She is the quintessential small church pastor’s wife who handles everything from children’s church to youth group to potluck dinners to directing the annual Christmas play. (The only thing she doesn’t do is play the piano.) She also works with preschool special needs children. Susan’s interest in writing began as a teenager, writing in a journal. Since those days she has written numerous plays and skits for her church over the years. These performances have given her and her congregation the opportunity to minister to people in their small community who never attend church at any other time. In her spare time she goes exploring with her grandsons; she is also an avid reader, loves to swim, and enjoys her horses.
