Susan E. Holle was born with Cerebral Palsy, which was caused by the lack of oxygen to the brain because the umbilical cord was wrapped around her neck.  Even though it's physically severe, Susan's parents and other of her family members saw she was intelligent from an early age.  Susan started physical therapy, speech therapy, and attended an early child development program after she was diagnosed with CP when she was thirteen-month-old.   Susan learned how to get around by crawling and how to stand and walk with someone holding her up.  She can talk, but not clearly.  The people who can understand Susan are her parents, close relatives, and some friends.  She can communicate with other people with speech devices.   
                        Susan began Brenham Elementary school in Special Education classes, but she got bored and wanted to be in regular classes like her older sister, cousins, and Sunday school friends.   When Susan was five-year-old, she told her mother, "I know my ABC's and 123's, I want to learn more like other kids."  After talking to my teachers and principal, they told Susan's mother to take Susan to the University of Texas where they could test Susan's I.Q. and determine if she could learn in a regular class.  After testing Susan, they recommended that she be mainstreamed into regular classes. 
                        Years later, Susan graduated from Brenham High School as an honor student, and then she went to Blinn Junior College where Susan graduated with an associate degree in arts.  After Blinn, Susan transferred to Texas A&M University where she dreamed of going.  She majored in American Studies and minored in history. 
                       After graduating from A&M, Susan work for Brenham ISD for a few months, putting together a booklet, then gave speeches at churches and different kind of clubs, and she told people about her disability, her journey through the public school systems and then college, and how her faith got her through everything. 
                       Susan went back to her first love; writing.  Her desire to be a writer began after watching and then reading L. M. Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables series.  Susan loved Anne, Gilbert, and their children.  She liked how L.M. Montgomery drew the reader in and made them care about her characters.  Susan discovered Janet Oke, William Shakespeare, Jane Austen, and Charlotte Bronte and fell in love with their writings.  She knows she won't reach their level of talent or popularity, but she hopes people will enjoy her novels and her stories. 

                       Other than writing, Susan loves reading, listening to music, watching TV and movies, and swimming.
