Susan O'Dooley Smith is a writer, editor, public relations professional, and public speaker whose work has garnered more than 20 local, regional, national, an international awards. A partner in Shiny Penny Productions, she is working on her first children's book and is developing other books with her business partner, Andy Landis. Last year, she was associate producer on two CDs - Sea of Pink and I Will Rise - both developed by Shiny Penny Productions. Smith also is editor in chief of the national magazine for individuals grieving the death of a loved one. Grief Magazine is published quarterly and features practical, encouraging, and humorous articles aimed at giving those who grieve the power to carry on. The magazine is now in its fourth year of publication. In 1995, Smith launched out as freelance writer after 15 years as a public relations executive. Clients included General Electric, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Humana, Norton Health System, Catholic Health Initiative, The Oliver Group, Cancer Treatment Center, and Bandy-Carroll-Hellige Advertising. She also has been a regular contributor of feature articles to Louisville Magazine and a contributor to the national publication, Today's Christian Woman. Her first article for Today's Christian Woman was included in a book compilation published by Christianity Today in 1995. During her public relations career, Smith established herself as a business writer, routinely winning awards for annual reports, columns, articles and marketing campaigns. (Notice that she neglects to write here of her first job, writing press releases and advertising for a hot rod truck and tractor show.) As director of marketing and community relations for Caritas Health System she oversaw all marketing for two hospitals, a home health organization, and several physician groups, and edited four critically acclaimed publications. As public relations director for the Louisville Chamber of Commerce, she ghostwrote the politically charged Postscript series of columns for that organization's president, wrote speeches for CEOs and public officials, and drafted strategic economic development proposals. As a writer for the University of Louisville, she edited two publications and wrote a well-publicized series of articles interpreting the esoteric academic research of university professors for everyday audiences. During her career, she has written hundreds of articles and has edited more than 10 publications. She also is a compelling and challenging public speaker whose audiences have ranged from women at church dinners to women in prison. Susan has a bachelor of arts degree in literature and a master's degree in journalism. She divides her time, unevenly, among Louisville, Kentucky; Nashville, Tennessee; and Beechgrove, Tennessee. (Had she realized living spaces could become so complicated, she would have paid more attention to fractions in junior high math.) You

they compare real, everyday fruit to spiritual
fruit and, in the process, uncover the surprisingly
tasty shared characteristics of each. Armed with
plenty of true-life illustrations, they'll give you
