“Susan Pomerantz is a rare combination of scribe and scholar, stitching together the art and science of assembling words into statement jackets of readability for any willing to allow their minds to wear them. She wraps her cerebral in a concern for her fellow humans and a style all her own, which will become apparent to the audiences her works will escort her to meet in the years to come.”

"I have known Susan Pomerantz for almost a dozen years, first as a gifted teacher and a talented poet and now, as a novelist…well, I can’t wait."

Susan is without question a brilliant, talented and well-rounded wordsmith; she has degrees in English and Folklore, she’s taught high school AP students for years, she’s had stories published in newspapers and literary journals, she reads enigmatic poetry for fun, she attends creative writing workshops galore. For as long as I’ve known her, Susan awakens at the crack of dawn, nudges her laptop into service, and with determined keystrokes, gently coaxes her fictional characters into the light of day. At the heart of it, Susan is a person who has a deep affection for her fellow man - and all the world’s creatures, for that matter. She passionately respects the human condition, in all of its triumphs and frailties, its silliness and seriousness, its darn good fortunes and damn tough breaks. All the bits and pieces that mark our existence in this life. To be sure, you’ll recognize familiar traits in Susan’s made-up characters - the kindly but beaten-down-by-life cousin, the determined young student aching for a better circumstance, the sullen teen, the saccharine co-worker, the idiosyncratic neighbors gathered to shoot-the-breeze on a front porch, the hushed-yet-tender affections shared between a long-married couple facing adversity. That’s because Susan has an innate compassion for and connection to those she meets along life’s journey. It’s no surprise that she often sports a well-worn favorite T-shirt, displaying the pithy message: “Careful Or You’ll End Up In My Novel.” Be forewarned: It’s a lovingly light-hearted but oh-so-real pronouncement from the very compassionate, very tuned-in Susan Pomerantz. Her Super Power as a human being is unearthing and appreciating the true essence of the people she meets. Her Super Power as a writer is infusing her fictional characters with the stuff of real life. The stuff of all of us.”
