Books & Articles
Susan uses writing in the same way that she uses speaking and singing: to encourage and deepen the faith of everyone she meets. She keeps an active blog and has a rich archive of inspiring articles to read on this site.
In response to her devotion to the rosary, Susan published her first book, the Mary, Queen of Peace Meditation Guide & Sung Rosary. This beautiful 6″ x 9″ 48-page full color scriptural rosary book includes a totally sung rosary on CD. Scripture verses for each Hail Mary, sheet music for the sung prayers, and beautiful icons, paintings and stained glass windows to aid in your meditation are included in the book.
Susan also contributed to Catholicmom.com‘s editor, Lisa Hendey’s book, The Handbook for Catholic Moms, published by Ave Maria Press.
Susan is an active blogger as well. She began writing for the web in 1998 with her magazine devoted to Catholic musicians, GrapeVine. The magazine began as a downloadable PDF file and eventually became a hard copy published magazine. It then evolved into a very active blog, the one-stop connection for articles, CD and DVD reviews podcasts and videos related to Catholic music. GrapeVine was supported by top Catholic music industry members such as OCP, WLP and the Catholic Marketing Network. In 2009, Susan passed GrapeVine on to its new editor and owner, Jim Logue, Jr. of the Catholic Music Express podcast. A best-of collection of her articles can be found here.
