About me — Susan McCorkindale
First up: McCorkindale is my stage name
Hi! I’m Susan McCorkindale.
I’ve been writing since my parents gave me my first black and white composition notebook when I was about four. My work wasn’t any good, but that didn’t stop me from chasing them around the house trying to read it to them.
Beyond being a writer and an author (I publish under McCorkindale, thus the whole stage name thing), I’m also a mom, newlywed (I got remarried last year), and magazine editor.
I’m also a forever Jersey Girl who writes about the joys and trials of parenting, my passion for thrillers, my battles with anxiety, and the importance of resilience. I also like to geek out about gratitude because, to paraphrase Jen Sincero, it really is the gateway to awesomeness.
Let’s see, what else?
