Author of The Cat, The Cash, the Leap and the List
Ten-year-old Martha has leadership skills. At least, that’s what her parents say. Her cousins, Sanjay and Anand, say she’s bossy.

I’m Sue Campbell, author of The Cat, the Cash, the Leap and the List, a novel for middle grade readers.
I live with my husband, two daughters, six chickens, and a rabbit on a quasi-urban farm in Portland, Oregon. Portland is a bit of a weird place, but it’s perfect for someone like me — someone who gets crazy excited about finding strange things and making up stories to explain them.
I cohost The Mommy’s Pen Podcast with my twelve-year-old daughter where we talk about and dissect stories.
My writing has been published in lots of places, including Good Housekeeping, Prevention, Scary Mommy, Mamalode, PDX Parent.
Writer Sue Campbell talks books, stories and story structure with her eleven-year-old daughter, Nora.
It’s short and sweet…and all about books and what makes a good story.
So if you’re a parent, a writer, or a kid who just loves good books, you’ll enjoy it.
Also, Nora is pretty hilarious.
