Quill Hawk Publishing is excited to welcome this exuberant personality into our family of authors—Suzanne Byrd!
Suzie Byrd has always loved to write, but life has often gotten in the way. She received a degree in Journalism from Oklahoma State University, where she was also an All-American athlete. Her other passion was business, and she spent over 20 years as a business partner and owner of health-related companies. She quit her business and went on an adventure to Key West, where she immersed herself in its culture.
Suzie served as President of the Key West Writers Guild, was a member of the Island Scribes Critique group, and wrote her first book, Game On. Born in Oklahoma City, she returned to the state after spending 15 years in Florida. She settled in Enid, where she raised her family to be near her two grandkids. Suzie works as a reporter for her local newspaper and also writes books. She loves writing stories about people and their life journeys, both factual and fictional.
"The Kiss: Life Through Rose-Colored Lenses" is the story of two girls who meet in college and share a kiss that changes their lives. Although they share love, passion, and a strong connection, life takes them in different directions. Katie Gray becomes a Navy pilot, and Addison Lee returns to her destiny in Mobile, Alabama.
Through the years, they struggle to stay apart, but the kiss always brings them back together. Addison has a family, while Katie goes on to Sicily and other adventures. This story is about the struggle of two gay women who met in the seventies and live a life of longing and love.
