Sue Scott passed away on March 19, 2008. She will be missed by all who were lucky enough to know her.

Susan Scott was a goof, who  lived all over the US, and took nothing seriously.  While often perched in front of her computer in Maryland, but when wanderlust struck, she'd pack up and travel at the drop of a free plane ticket.  Oh yeah, and she had the cliched requisite two cats, who did the housework.  And she'd had some stuff published, much to her, not to mention the editors, amazement.  Sue  could often be heard saying, "And grammar  is what?" Sue was Creative Director for the Long Story Short School of Writing.   See Sue's webpage in our Writers' Lodge.
