About
Susan was born and raised in the Appalachian foothills of northern New Jersey. Just as those mountains shed their quartz and feldspar to create our continent’s sandy shores, they tumbled her down their long spine to a small green island on Florida’s Gulf coast. With her husband, climate scientist Jeff Chanton, she divides her time between Tallahassee and Indian Pass, pursuing activism, writing, and communion with wild birds.
New book coming in 2026!
If This Were a Map chronicles one woman’s journey into indigenous mind, guided by dreams, synchronicities, and instructions from the land, the ancestors and the wild birds.
