Sue Mayfield Geiger

I freelance for several regional and national publications, writing about anything and everybody. My English degree sets me apart from my journalism-degreed colleagues, thus my love of poetry.

I have a long history of print and ink in my DNA since my paternal grandfather and uncle both ran presses at the old Gulf Publishing Company in Houston, TX.

As a little girl, I was fascinated by the enormous machines, the typesetting of letters, and the smell of the ink. With reams of discarded blank paper, I would make up stories before I knew the meaning of the word “plot.”
