S. A. Smith

S. A. Smith is a fifth-generation Texan who has lived in the Texas Hill Country most of her adult life. She has a special place in her heart for small towns, underdogs, and herbal medicine. An armchair traveler, she appreciates other cultures and can often be found dancing in the kitchen to the music of faraway lands while doing her best to duplicate their traditional dishes. Besides having three married daughters and ten grandchildren, Susan and her husband Bill are parents to a host of rescue animals, including five stray cats (Johnny, Cash, Poldark, Pauley Six-Toes, and Laddie Marmalade), two goats (Lydia Deetz and Sweet Pea), and a Weimaraner named Chaso, which means “chance or opportunity” in the Romani language.

The Rain Gypsy is her debut novel, and several sequels are planned. In the meantime, her second novel, The Cemetery Tender, will be available Fall, 2023.
