Susan Wittig Albert
Susan Wittig Albert, Ph.D., is the author of the best-selling China Bayles Herbal Mysteries and co-author of the Robin Paige Victorian mysteries. She has also written two critically-acclaimed non-fiction books: Writing From Life: Telling Your Soul's Story, and Work of Her Own: A Woman's Guide to Success off the Career Track. She is the founder of the Story Circle Network and a nationally-known speaker for women's organizations and writers conferences. She is a former professor of English and university vice president.

Dr. Albert is especially interested in women's spiritual journeys and the need to become profoundly conscious of the shape and dimensions of the interior life. She has written:

The interior life is like a river, sometimes full and abundant with richly creative life, sometimes dry and empty; sometimes tumultous, sometimes calm. As we begin to be conscious of this inner life--its times and seasons, its rhythms and changes, what nurtures it, what parches it--we begin to see that it has its own pattern of growth, of waxing and waning. Then we can begin to move with this inner river, to allow it to course unhindered through our lives, to be nurtured by it, to be lost in its vast and wonderful mysteries.

Dr. Albert will be the keynote speaker at the WomenSpirit Conference 2001 in South Bend Indiana on January 26-28, 2001.
