Susannah Seton is the author of the Simple Pleasures series, which has sold over 200,000 copies. Seton is also an early adopter of "cottage care" and self care.

When Seton was young, she would listen to her grandparents tell stories of when they were young, and the fun they would have even though all the stories were based around the simplest actions: new recipes they would make in a new house, road trips, early mornings by the water, and so much more. This made Seton realize that it wasn't what we had, but our mindsets that made life enjoyable. Seton began writing the Simple Pleasures series with one goal in mind: to remind her readers that even the smallest things in life can bring us enormous joy.

She currently lives in Berkeley, California, with her husband and daughter.
