“Every story begins with a question and sometimes the answer is stranger than we expect.”

Whether she is exploring the metaphysical world of dreams, telling the story of a young girl abandoned along Old Route 66 in a time long past, or imagining the embodiment of vengeance, Susan M. Obijiski challenges her readers with insight into human behavior, the twists and turns of life, and the ways in which existence, love, tragedy and wonder can teach and change us.

This kind of storytelling asks you to immerse yourself in life, poses provocative questions, and explores the ‘what’ and ‘why’ of the world, and what is most important.

Susan’s novels include the ‘Legacy of Dreams’ trilogy, the ‘Short and Odd’ short story collection, ‘The Price of Vengeance,’ ‘The Way Between – An Unexpected Life,’ and the non-fiction exploration of existence, ‘Aspirations of the Soul – A Primer – Planning Your Life Before Birth.’

The works of Susan M. Obijiski are unique, provocative, sometimes quirky, and always surprising.

Writing that stays in the room with you.

Obijski writes with the patience of someone who trusts her reader completely. The silences between her sentences carry as much weight as the sentences themselves.

These are novels about what we almost say. She has found a way to render interior consciousness — its circling, its doubt — without ever losing the reader.
