Meet the Chief Shingas author

susan

Meet Susan Varley and Chloe (aka Winter Moon). Susan was the author of the Chief Shingas articles. She and I would sit on my porch and come up with ideas for the Chief and she would weave them into the fabulous stories you all read. Susan is also the author of the Wings Over The Rocks page.
