Susan's Books
Gaylord is a home-stuck goose that has never explored. He only knows his farm and his pond. That all changes when a flock of wild geese land on his farm. Once they are rested they take flight, leaving Gaylord with a decision to stay on his farm or take flight and explore.
Second Book
Musings of a Healing Mind: Struggles, Reflections, Conqueror
Poetry is not merely words on a page: it is the human experience distilled into its most potent form. Poetry is the culmination of the poet's interpretation and the reader's perception. Each poem will affect readers differently. To every reader who opens this book, thank you for joining me on my journey of perception, joy, adversity, healing and laughter.

Lovingly Illustrated
All in the family
My books are lovingly illustrated by a new artist, my daughter. She brings to life the characters in my books and gives them personalities that children can relate to just by looking at the pictures. Summer Wells is a mother, wife, artist and adventurer.
