Susan Spann
About me
Susan Spann lives in Northern California with her husband, teenage son and three cats (one of which is large enough that it really counts as two). She is a member of the Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers’ Association and is represented by literary agent Sandra Bond of the Bond Literary Agency.
When not running amok or too far in the weeds, Susan writes the SHINOBI mysteries, featuring master ninja Hiro Hattori and his Portuguese Jesuit sidekick, Father Mateo. The first novel, in which Hiro has just three days to find a samurai’s killer and save the life of the beautiful geisha accused of the crime, is scheduled for publication in Spring 2013 by St. Martin’s Press/Thomas Dunne Books.
Susan also likes archery, gardening and reading, but does not much like writing biographical statements. You can find her on Twitter: @SusanSpann, where she founded the #PubLaw hashtag.

Where Are the Things? Literary Estate Documentation
Once you have chosen an executor and written (and signed!) your will or trust, your estate planning job isn’t finished. An author usually knows where his or her work is located and/or sold, and who controls the publishing rights. But do your heirs know? If “the bus of destiny” ran…
Change is a Constant … in Life and on the Reef
Four decades of life has taught me many lessons. Among them: I don’t like change. Not a good position for a debut author, but there it is. Over the last eighteen months, I’ve learned to embrace change, and even to enjoy it a little. Ironically, my reef aquarium has helped…
