Award-winning author, Susan Wingate, posts a monthly column with her local newspaper, The Journal of the San Juan Islands. She also posts weekly discussions about the writing industry for the regional online newspaper, the PNWLocalNews.com site.

Born in Phoenix, Arizona to James & Amie Ajamie (a writer and an artist, respectively), Susan Wingate tried to fly, at age five off the roof of their family house using newspaper, wire hangers and scotch tape. She’s been dreaming of flying ever since. Oh, by the way, she never jumped. Her mother ran out in the nick of time to stop her from take-off.

Wingate realized her dreams when she began writing. At first, she only wrote songs and poetry but later her writing blossomed when she tried her hand at fiction. In 1997, she devoted her days to writing and in 2004, she began writing full-time. Since then, Susan has published two short story collections and four novels.
