SuzannePK

Suzanne Parete-Koon is an astrophysicist by training, who now teaches researcher how to use supercomputers. Much of her education as a storyteller came from parenting. She writes middle-grade and young adult fiction inspired by the games, stories, and imaginary worlds she created with her daughter while she was growing up.

Now that her daughter is mostly grown, Suzanne has the time to turn those old adventures into books and novellas. Most of her stories are set in Knoxville, Tennessee, or St. Augustine, Florida, and draw on the real histories of those places, ideas from quantum and other areas of physics, and the particular kind of magic that comes from first being, and then years later parenting, a little girl with a heroic imagination and a fondness for ley lines, stone circles, and impossible stories.
