About the author
A recently "retired" Kodak scientist/ engineer (with eleven U.S. patents to her credit), Susan Baruch is originally (and proudly) from Cleveland, Ohio. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering Physics from The Ohio State University and a Master of Science degree in Materials Science from the University of Rochester. She was employed by the Eastman Kodak Company from 1979 until 2009. For the past several years she worked in the field of electrophotography, most recently on a high speed color digital printer.
While at Kodak, Susan considered herself an artist in engineer’s clothing. In addition to her creative writing, she has also enjoyed drawing, painting, sculpting and home decorating. Before embarking on her novel, Paternity, she wrote essays, short stories and poems.
Susan resides in upstate New York, in a suburb of Rochester, with her husband and their three red-headed teenage children. She is the co-founder of a neighborhood book club that has been going strong since 2000. She is also a member of a mother-daughter book club that was started back in 2003. Her favorite books include: The Red Tent, The History of Love, The Hours, The Namesake, Fair and Tender Ladies, A Walk in the Woods, Monique and the Mango Rains, Come to Me and A Blind Man Can See How Much I Love You.

Now that she is “retired”
(laid off, but okay with it), Susan enjoys volunteering in the art room
at The Jewish Home of Rochester, practicing yoga, walking, dining on
vegetarian cuisine, watching movies (she is a big Roger Ebert fan), and
keeping in touch with her extended family and many wonderful friends.
