Okay, lets get this straight from the beginning: it's about my nickname.
Suze Ormon thinks
that Suze spells Suzy or Susie or some sort of two-syllable moniker. You and I know that Suze is pronounced to rhyme with
Ooze. And whether it's attractive or not, it is what people who know me well often call me. ( Sometimes the truth hurts.)
If you know me well enough to explore this web site, then you surely know me well enough to call me Suze. Just
don't push it. It's a rather personal thing.
This web site marks a change of lifestyle (that's change of lifestyle,
I've already done the change of life business) for me--after almost ten years of living in France, I have sold my house
in Provence (pictured above) and returned to my home in San Antonio, Texas.
Perhaps the biggest news is that Sarah Lahey (Co-author of the Born to Shop books) and I have bought back the
Born to Shop series from Frommer's. In July, 2010,our first new title was published via amazon.com: Born to Shop California
Wine Country. This book does not rate wine or count bottles of beer on the wall but explains the destinations and a handful
of wineries. Aside from Napa and Sonoma, there are chapters on Mendocino, Amador County and the Central Coast.
There are four new titles coming out soon, as well
as the usual revisions on more or less the same publishing schedule we used with Frommer's. So yes, Born to Shop London will
be new, fresh and ready for you in 2012 for your Olympics pleasure. Books will have new covers and will continue
to serve you with honest consumer oriented information.
With a million best
wishes,
SuzyKG
That's Suze to you
