Once upon a time, Susan was working way too hard in her and her husband’s food shop in Florida. She commented to their chef, on an exceptionally bad day, “One day I am going to grow up, live alone, and move to a warm island.” Be careful what you wish for…

She and her husband came to their island by boat, upon which they lived while building their home. Sadly, her husband died, and she had two choices: quit or continue. She continued and has never, ever been sorry – not for one speck of a sand-fly minute!

Having spent her working life with the public, island life suits Susan. There, she met Swiss Hermit and has been happy for many years. Some days she never sees another soul, spending time on beautiful beaches, working with photography, loving cooking, and reading.
