I’ll Never Say Goodbye by Suzanne D. Williams

Send to Kindle You are primarily a YA (young adult) romance writer, so what inspired this more adult-themed short story? I cut my teeth, so to speak, on historical fiction. It was my first love as both a reader and a writer. I enjoy writing YA, feel called to write it even, but always return […]

Giving Respect by Suzanne D. Williams

DOWN FALL by Suzanne D. Williams

Send to Kindle I cut my teeth on historical fiction way back in my teens, devouring every book I could get my hands on, so when I began writing fiction, it seemed like a natural way to go. I was finally able to put all I’d learned about the past to good use. Two years […]

A Miracle for Mari

By Suzanne D Williams I wrote A MIRACLE FOR MARI thinking of a sixteen-year-old girl I know in a similar circumstance, and in considering her, I had a revelation. Mary, the mother of Jesus, was the same age. This deeply affected my heart because judgment today for this girl who I love is […]
