Susan Watts, writing as Michelle Allums

Susan Watts

Susan Watts, who writes under the name Michelle Allums, has been writing stories since she can remember. Her favorite thing as a child was to open a blank notebook and begin writing a new adventure. She always liked reading but enjoyed creating her own stories even more. She also loves the martial arts and has been training in various styles for over 40 years. She has won numerous World and National titles and holds black belts in Tae Kwon Do and Okinawa Kenpo. She owns her own karate school, where she teaches martial arts and life skills. She adores teaching the younger students and watching them grow and mature into young adults. Susan tries to encompass much of what she has learned in the martial arts into her writing. An avid triathlete, she also keeps in shape by running, biking and swimming. She lives in the country with her husband, where they raise animals and enjoy being outdoors. Susan also has three grown children and numerous grandchildren.
