About the author

Suzanne Blaney has lived in the Sierra Nevada foothills of Northern California for sixteen years, after moving from the San Francisco Bay Area. A daughter lives a short drive away and two step-sons reside in Southern California.

Before turning her creativity to writing, Suzanne was an active artist with many patrons and involved with several organizations. For thirteen years, she served on the Board of Directors of the Pastel Society of the West Coast, an international society based in Sacramento. Following her term as President, she became newsletter editor, thus whetting her appetite for writing. The Little Book About Pastel, (non-fiction) published in 2003, was her first book. So The River Flows is her first novel, but she is currently at work on a second novel and another non-fiction book about impressionistic art.

In addition to being included in the archives of the National Museum of Women in the Arts, the Marquis 25th Edition of Who's Who of American Women, the Who's Who of Women in the World published in Cambridge, England, Suzanne was elected a fellow of the Royal Society of the Arts under the patronage of Her Royal Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
