Susy Flory is a New York Times best selling author who grew up on the back of a quarter horse in Northern California. A UCLA grad, she first started writing at the Newhall Signal with the legendary Scotty Newhall, an ex-editor of the San Francisco Chronicle and a one-legged cigar-smoking curmudgeon who ruled the newsroom from behind a dented metal desk where he pounded out stories on an Underwood Typewriter.
