Susan Williamson Author
Susan Williamson met her first horse at the age of six–a black and white pony named Jimmy John. Her first recognition for writing was being chosen to read her poem about spring and newborn foals at the annual spring concert.
Since then, many horses and many words have crossed her path. Williamson holds a BS degree in Animal Science from the University of Kentucky and an MS degree in Animal Science from the University of California, Davis.
She has worked as an extension agent, a newspaper editor, a riding instructor, an educator and a food coop manager. Whatever she was doing and wherever she was living, horses and writing were part of her life.
She met her husband, Wallace, at a horse show and their daughter’s first word was “horse.” Are you seeing a theme here?
Her first novel, a thriller, Turkmen Captives, was published in 2015. It was reissued as Desert Tail in 2018 by Blue Fortune Enterprises. A sequel to this novel, Tangled Tail was released in 2018. Her second novel, a cozy mystery, Dead on the Trail, came out in 2016, with a sequel, Dead in the Loft, published in 2020.
A children’s book, The Riding Lesson, was published in 2018 with C.J. McGannon as illustrator by High Tide Publications. She is the author of Buying Your First Horse: Making an Informed Choice, and How to Write Family Stories.
Williamson is a contributor to Next Door Neighbors Magazine and Tidewater Women. Her work can also be seen in the anthology Taking Flight, Winston Salem Writers Contest Winners and New South. She is the former editor of The Edmonton Herald-News and a former freelance reporter for The Weekly Independent and The Barren County Progress. She is a former program chair and board member of Chesapeake Bay Writers. She is also a member of the Virginia Writers Guild and a member and former board member of Winston-Salem Writers.
When not writing, reading or horsing around, Williamson enjoys grandparenting, gardening, travel, museums, swimming and volunteering through Faith in Action. Along with her husband and Labradoodle, Susan lives in Williamsburg, VA.
Making Meals—Out of Little at All
I never went hungry. A blessing that many Americans take for granted, but others cannot. I grew up on a farm and we had some lean years with my mother making a few desperation dinners, but mostly we had beef or pork and/or lamb from the farm in the freezer as well as frozen green …
Peaceful Poconos
My husband and I recently traded out time share for a week in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania at Shawnee on the Delaware. We were right on the Delaware River—a little worrying as the remnants of Hurricane Ida passed through—but we stayed dry. I can’t say as much for the golf course. The resort is …
Out of Nothing at All
“Making Love Out of Nothing at All” by Air supply is one of my favorite songs. My husband’s cousin Elaine does this on a regular basis, although her mission could more directly be titled, “Making Beauty Out of Nothing at All.” Her apartment is full of eclectic treasures, art work, tapestry, photos, pottery, vases—each attached …
