Inspired by the 'pura vida' way of living while in Costa Rica, Susan Grundy veered from her thirty-year career in marketing to writing stories about the weight of emotional distress and how to step into an easier way of being.

After her short fiction appeared in the Danforth Review and Montréal Writes, Susan dove into Mad Sisters, a highly personalized account of her caregiving journey for an older sister diagnosed with schizophrenia at the age of thirteen. She recently completed a second novel (Black Creek, literary fiction) about an architect who breaks free from a painful ancestral cycle in her female lineage.

When not at her desk, Susan can be found walking in nature towards a café. She divides her time between Montreal and London.
