Sue Baumgardner, Author
Born and raised in the rural Maine of the 1950s, Sue Baumgardner subsequently spent several years living in various states across the eastern US. With a minion of good friends scattered across the land, it was back to Maine, family, and old friends that Sue returned in her retirement.
Did we say retirement? With the time she had always hankered for, Sue picked up pen, took a dozen writing classes and dove into the career she had only dreamt of prior to her retirement.
An author who is not tied to one genre, Sue has written Fiction and Non-fiction, for adults, middle readers and young children.
Published Adult Fiction includes a cozy mystery,
*WHERE SIN INCREASED.
*ROCKY AND THE CHANGER, the stand-alone sequel, will become available in summer of 2022.
Adult Non-Fiction includes:
*GHOST HOSTS
*DREAM VISITS FROM BEYOND THE VEIL.
Sue’s expressive poetry can be found in her three chapbooks:

The time honored Kirkus review reported, “Her rendering of the deeply disturbed and unexpectedly complex John Daniel {Mary Sue’s ten-year-old brother} is particularly riveting, and she manages to wring a horror novel’s worth of tension from his relationships over the course of the tale.” They further said, “…her work was reminiscent, in some ways, of Maine’s best known writer of dark tales, Stephen King… Baumgardner weaves an unorthodox mystery tale that will keep readers invested through the fallow periods…”
Sue Baumgardner is both self-published and published under the umbrella of Maine’s premier — Encircle Publications.
