Susan L. Krueger, Ed.D., an Arizona-based educator, earned her undergraduate, Master's and Doctorate degrees from Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff. During a career spanning 32 years, she taught first grade in Holbrook, Arizona, and provided remedial reading instruction to elementary and junior high school students in Flagstaff. She also worked with remedial readers in the Cartwright District in Phoenix, and she has instructed adult learners at both Chapman University and Arizona State University West.

Having retired from the teaching profession in 2000, Krueger now serves as a master docent at the Phoenix Art Museum. Volunteering in this capacity, she gives presentations on art-related topics throughout the Phoenix area and writes research papers for use by the docents at the museum.

An accomplished essayist and novelist, Krueger has been pursuing writing in multiple genres for more than 20 years. In 2011, her first book, Addie Slaughter: The Girl Who Met Geronimo, was published as an Arizona Centennial Legacy Project and was the winner for published children's literature in the Arizona Authors Association 2011 Literary contest and a ONEBOOKAZ for Kids 2012 finalist. When she's not writing or working at the museum, Krueger enjoys travelling, quilting, gardening, genealogy and reading. A Northern California native, Krueger has spent most of her life in the Grand Canyon State and is a long-time resident of Phoenix.
