CROSSING THE BRIDGE OF SIGHS by Susan Ashley Michael is described as “Deftly erudite, with a dash of crime and more than a dollop of pleasure, a rich confection of a novel."

Susan is the author of two books, with the publication of her novel CROSSING THE BRIDGE OF SIGHS in December 2011. Susan was recently nominated for the Pushcart Prize by vox poetica for her poem “Flying on Fat Tuesday.”
