Susie Black is a guest on Liz Flaherty's blog. Click the link for the story of how Susie honed her writing skills by studying her Nana's letters to the family: www.lizflaherty.net/post/nana-th...
Nana, the Great Communicator
My long-gone, full-service Nana had given me all the tools I needed. I re-packed the letters, started to write, and thanks to Nana, I never stopped.
