Appreciation for Susie's writing, speaking, editing:

"I recently read all three of your stories. "The Well" was shocking and true for me. I've known families like this in Wisconsin. Heartbreaking! "When Time Stutters" (great title) had me in tears throughout and I think it was beautifully written-poetically written. Your word choice and descriptions were so perfect. Same with "The Screen Door." I cried, I laughed, I cheered, and I felt great pathos for Franetta and her family. All three stories are beautiful slices of life that I could relate to because of people I've known. They are stories that need to be told. The entire book, Red Boots & Attitude, is a wonderful collection of stories."--Donna Remmert , author of The Littlest Big Kid

"Much of writing is a learned skill, but first one must have the creativeness and vocabulary to put thoughts, feelings and facts onto paper and make them a joy to read. Susie Kelly Flatau does that with an art that is no different than an oil painting."--Colleen Greenwood , Southlake, Texas

"I appreciate your help with the e-mail Life Story Course. Your skills as an editor are awesome.  I thank you for your help with dialogue, voice, and dynamics. The help you have given me is much appreciated. Thank you, thank you."--James Harris , freelance writer, Marshall, Texas
