Sue Williams grew up in a nine-room century hotel in Verner, a small northern Ontario town along the TransCanada Highway. She graduated from Queen’s University with a science degree in occupational therapy, and practiced OT for over thirty years.

Aside from family and her work in healthcare, a lifelong passion of Sue’s has been fibre arts, particularly recycling old bits of yarn and scraps of fabric into things new.

Sue’s writing career began when, as a result of a life-altering experience while in her fifties, she found herself with a story that she felt needed telling. Through creative writing courses at the University of Toronto and the University of Guelph she learned how to tell it.

In 2016, Sue left the healthcare field to focus full time on writing.

Her debut memoir, Ready to Come About, published by Dundurn Press, has garnered high praise from authors such as Miriam Toews, Barbara Kyle, and Adam Lindsay Honsinger.

Sue lives with her husband in Guelph. They have three grown sons and two granddaughters. She is now working on a novel set in homecare.
