About

Born and raised in Jackson, Mississippi, Susan Thomsen lives with her family in Connecticut. She is an alumna of the New Yorker’s Goings On About Town department, and was a theater critic for New York Sidewalk, a Microsoft publication. She is the author of Elvis: A Tribute to the King, a gift book in the shape of a record. Her poetry has appeared in Streetcake Magazine, Unlost Journal, Tea: A Magazine, and ScribesMICROFiction; she has contributed nonfiction to the Poetry Foundation, PBS Parents’ Booklights blog, and other venues. Once a children’s book blogger, Susan continues to be a picture-book enthusiast, and reads weekly to a public-school second-grade class. Chicken Spaghetti, founded at Typepad in 2005, initially focused on books for kids, and now covers whatever catches Susan’s fancy.
