N. Susan Hall is a novice true crime writer, but has investigated, written and published three books on genealogy. Her years in the business world included writing articles and manuals on a variety of items, from instruction manuals used in teaching, to the workings of machinery.

Tragic events in our schools and communities have sparked the integration of character education into new and existing programs. To help aid teachers and librarians in the search for appropriate resources to emphasize good character traits, Oryx has developed another helpful reference by bestselling author Susan Hall. This unique resource provides a guide to picture storybooks and the character traits each describes.
