Susan wrote her first story when she was in the fourth grade. It was called "Up to Mars," about two children who went to Mars. She can't remember how they got there, however, or what they did when they were there. Later on, when Susan grew up, she wrote the Circle C Adventures, a series of books for older readers about twelve-year-old Andi Carter and her life on a California ranch in 1880. Many parents asked her to write books for their younger readers. Kregel Publications, her publisher, agreed this was a good idea.
