Susan R. Lawrence

Susan R. Lawrence is a speaker, an author, and a storyteller. She grew up on a farm in the heart of Iowa. As a child, she learned to love country life, writing stories, and her Savior, Jesus Christ.

She graduated from Kansas State Teacher’s College and taught special needs children for twenty-six years before putting away the chalkboard to devote more time to writing, speaking, and storytelling.

Susan lives and travels with Gary, her husband and best friend for fifty-one years, and their rescue pup, Maggie. She has three adult children and seven brilliant and beautiful grandchildren who love to hear her stories.

When Susan is not writing, she enjoys spending time with her family, hiking in the woods, bicycling, and traveling. But most of all, she loves to tell the story, the good news of Jesus Christ, in writing, speaking, and living.

Her published works include two family devotion books; two novels, Atonement for Emily Adams and Restoration at River’s Edge; and two middle grades novels, The Blue Marble and The Long Ride Home.  She has also contributed to three anthologies and has written many articles for various Christian publications. Her newest novel, Flight of the Red-Winged Blackbird, will be published by Scrivenings Press in March 2022.
