Welcome back, friends, to our podcast, unlocking your world of creativity.
In our globetrotting adventures, today we're in Zurich, Switzerland, chatting with the multi-talented Susan Steiner.
She's not just an author but also a human design aficionado, executive coach, grandmother, and more. Our conversation dives into the intriguing intersection of her diverse roles and her unique approach to creativity.
Susan shares how human design, a technology she uses in coaching, shapes her characters. Through her August Burns series, she crafts individuals based on her grandchildren's human design charts. In this creative fusion, characters feel authentic, relatable, and delightfully flawed.
In a lively excerpt from "Murder by Manuscript," we witness the charming meeting of August Burns and the cowgirl of his dreams, Rita. Susan's writing is both approachable and detailed, setting the stage for a thrilling murder mystery.
Five Highlights:
1. Susan's multidimensional roles, blending into a theme of embracing individuality.
2. Human design as a tool for character development, creating relatable and authentic personas.
3. Susan's engaging and relatable writing style, illustrated through a snippet from "Murder by Manuscript."
4. The family and friend collaborations enriching Susan's writing process.
5. A sneak peek into the upcoming third book, promising more excitement and a diabolical villain in Texas.
Key Quote from Susan:
"I don't tell my clients what to do. I don't tell my characters what to do. I don't like to tell people what to do. And I definitely don't like to be told what to do."
Murder mystery novelist Susan D. Steiner is a Human Design aficionado, grandmother of four, and Executive Coach, living in Switzerland. Currently busy writing book three in the August Burns series, she bases her characters on the Human Design charts of real people, including her four grandchildren. This makes for fun, in depth stories of real-life heroes and villains set in Zurich, London, Charlotte, and San Antonio.
