She has published three books to date, and recently had a wonderful short story published in the Topside Press's The Collection. The nearly 400-page short fiction anthology is written entirely by transsexual, transgender and gender-variant authors and has exclusively trans* protagonists.
"In the six years before I transitioned, I wrote two books and a small handful of terrible short stories," said Susan.
"In the past two years, though, I've written five books, two of which are either published or about to be published, and lots of stories/essays.
"For some reason transitioning was like a creative fire lit under me. I'm sure that not obsessing about gender all the time helped. I also think transition helped me find a writing voice that I really like."
