My current writing project is the Jack Mallory Chronicles, a series of historical novels that follow young Jack Mallory, starting with his quest to rescue his mother from the notorious sea raider, James Logan, and avenge his father’s murder to his trials and tribulations on land as a reluctant plantation owner in colonial Carolina.

Hey, I tried to find you last summer, but didn’t have a clue. I know that you at one time were into Civil War Re-enacting. And I think you did work on SArah Emma Edmonds. If so, I’d love to discuss this topic with you. I actually wrote a play about her and produced it at the high school.
I’m writing, mostly plays. My current wife, Linda, and I started our own theatre company in Holly. We are currently in the middle of our very first production. It’s called “Love is murder” by Tim Kelly and it is about romance fiction writers and a body. It is wild and zany.
Yes, I love retirement. I am busy with a lot of things. Nothing new there. So what’s new on your end. I thought you lived on Utely (Sp) in Flint. I think of those critique groups from time to time. I even have good thoughts about the FAW.
We live in Holly on the river. Our theatre company is called the Blue Heron Theatre Company because we are visited frequently by herons.
Love your site.

Dear Susan,
This may be slightly disconcerting but I too am Susan Keogh – a book editor in Australia. I too adored Marguerite Henry’s books when I was a child and, although very little American history is taught here, I did know that there was a Keogh involved in the Battle of Little Big Horn (the name grabbed my attention). I’ve always been a fan of historical fiction (not least those children’s books by Marguerite Henry) but I work almost exclusively in non-fiction. I’m just intrigued at the random coincidence that we have the same name, work in the same field and read some of the same books (I also have shares in racehorses – is that where we differ?). But should someone contact you wanting an editor to work on a 100,000-word collection of conference papers, feel free to tell them that maybe they’re after the Australian Susan Keogh . . .
Susan, that is amazing! Thanks for contacting me. Not disconcerting at all. Nothing ever surprises me when it comes to connections to Myles Keogh, no matter how distant. Regarding the racehorse connection, the ones I owned were ex-racers that I retrained for the hunter/jumper ring. What country or countries do your horses race in?
