Gingerheart

Susan Anderson

Susan McFee Anderson is a Whistler-based writer. She has lived more than a few lives: as a rock and roll radio broadcaster, a television news anchor, an international award-winning corporate video producer, real estate investor, clothing shop clerk, fish gutter, weather girl, college teacher and property manager. She’s been single, married and divorced.

No surprise, then, that she writes for women who’ve checked off Partner, Kids, Home and Career on their life’s to-do list – only to find the list has a mind of its own.

Susan is passionate about her two sons, extended family and her friendships, some of which are more than forty-years strong. She loves to golf, hike and cross country ski. She swears in the mind, body and spirit-altering benefits of Pilates.

Although she recently de-cluttered her life she is pathologically addicted to bargain hunting. She can’t help it. In fact, Susan delights in paradox and that is why she chose the website name Gingerheart. Ginger is good for the heart. It calms but it also stimulates. In that contradiction – ginger as both chill pill and aphrodisiac – she sees the marrow of life.

You are invited to join Susan as she works on her current project Bounce Off the Rocks which asks the question: What do you do when your life is suddenly a blank slate? When life takes a 180-degree turn it helps to know you are not alone; in other people’s stories we can find inspiration for ourselves. Have you been through a major life crisis? Are you going through one now? Susan would like to hear from you. Check out her July 2010 blog for more details.

Gingerheart was launched in October 2008. At the beginning of every month, Susan details her torturous and exhilarating path toward publication. Each blog is intended to offer inspiration and information to those who love to read and write – and who just might share the same dream. Thank you for stopping by.

“2ManyCooks is a delicious broth of heart and humour. Susan Anderson brings us characters we can cry with, laugh with, and cheer for. I enjoyed it immensely!”

“2ManyCooks is just 2 good! I couldn’t put it down. Engaging characters and surprising revelations pull the reader through a story which revolves around two extraordinary women. Both women find themselves at a crossroads and it’s a lot of fun witnessing how their long-term friendship helps them cope with a difficult transitional time. Cindy has two teenage sons and is dealing with the aftermath of divorce while going through a career crisis. Theresa has a pre-teen daughter and a troubled marriage. Believe it or not (given that heavy set-up), the book is quite funny! It’s told in the first person and alternating chapters give the points of view of each of the two friends. Some of the fun comes from witnessing the misconceptions the two friends have about each other’s lives. Ever heard the saying, “The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence”? This book brings that saying to life! A definite must-read!!”

“2ManyCooks follows the lives of two women as they struggle through two very different circumstances.These unlikely friends discover a lot about themselves and each other on a surprise trip to Maui. The reader travels with the women as they unveil their true feelings…We feel that we, too, are friends with them. A great read.”
