In this episode I am excited to share:

Sue Dockstader, editor, publisher, and daughter of a celebrated author.

Growing up in rural England and living across the globe, Sue has a unique perspective on storytelling.

After a successful career as a lawyer and writer in London, Hong Kong and across the United States, she now resides in Camas, Washington, where she channeled her passion for her mother’s stories into beautiful, published books.

Teaming up with talented artist and graphic designer Barbara Richards, Sue has brought her mother’s imaginative wildlife tales to life, transforming years of procrastination into a heartfelt literary journey.

With her mother’s voice resonating through every line, Sue is excited to share these cherished stories with her children and future generations.

Join us as we explore the challenges of modern publishing and the joys of preserving family legacies through the written word.
