Susan Reinhardt is a bona-fide crazy woman with a fabulously huge heart to match her semi-huge bra size. She loves motherhood, laughter, old people and children.

Susan is a syndicated columnist through Gannett Newspapers as well as other papers, and a full-time columnist for the Asheville Citizen-Times located in Asheville, N.C. - the prettiest small city in America.

She is author of the national best-selling humor book, "Not Tonight Honey, Wait 'Til I'm a Size 6," published by Kensington in NYC in May and already in its 3rd printing.

"Not Tonight, Honey" was recently chosen as a selection by the Literary Guild, and Reinhardt has signed a two-book deal with Kensington for a sequel along with a humorous third book called "I Shaved My Collards for This? Dishing with the Kitchen Virgin," with plenty of humor from Pamela Carman.

She is a public speaker, humorist, and will be a main keynote along with Dave Barry at the national "Erma Bombeck Writer's Workshop," in Dayton, Ohio in March.

Her work has appeared all over the world in newspapers and magazines such as the Washington Post, Chicago Sun, Newsday, Woman's World, Redbook and dozens of other publications.

Each week her special brand of heart-infused humor is available to the hundred or more Gannett newspapers that have the option of running her column.

Reinhardt has won dozens of awards for her columns, features and fiction writing. She was tapped Gannett's Outstanding Writer of the Year in 1998 and has won several Best of Gannett honors. She has penned two novels, which her agent will shop after her next two humor books are completed.

Her short fiction has been honored by the venerated Story Magazine, Mademoiselle and Writer's Digest magazines.

As a woman born in South Carolina, reared in Georgia and then transplanted to North Carolina, she knows the South and its people the way a mom knows the roads to her children's souls and smiles.

Susan is a woman who can not only write funny, but one who takes it a level deeper by not being afraid to show her pain, her faults, fears and losses. She does it in a way that brings familiar tears with the smiles.

Reinhardt has been a guest on national radio and television shows. She is a long-time volunteer and fund raiser for Hospice, the United Way, the PTA, and other worthwhile and not so worthwhile causes. She is a proud member of the National Society of Newspaper Columnists, Southern Humorists, and the Read it or Not, Here We Come Book Club, a group of 10 women who eat too much and pretend to act literary.

Susan rides a unicycle for charity and pleasure.

She is married to jazz musician, Stuart Reinhardt, and they have two children: Niles Landon 13, and Lindsey Hope, 7. They are her true loves.
