Author Suzanna Linton: Clara's Return

Suzanna Linton is an alumni of the South Carolina Governor’s School for the Arts and Humanities (summer program), college grad with a degree in English, wife, animal lover, and author.  

She began writing when as little girl. At first, it was poetry but that led to novels. Anne McCaffrey’s Dragonriders of Pern are what made her want to be an author. McCaffrey showed her that women don’t have to be shrinking violets to be in a novel or be a complete goody-goody to be the hero. She grew up in rural South Carolina and continues to live there, in slightly-less-rural Florence. Every now and again, her husband has to remind her they can’t afford more pets. She sobbed like a brokenhearted child when she killed her Betta fish by accident. She loves coffee.
