J. and I are magnets for old things. They travel far and long to be with us. They connect us to the past, to farflung places, to controversies, and to the divine. Through them we hear the voices of artists, shamans, letter-writers, explorers, and smugglers. I am always striving to tell their story.

Susan Barrett Price—that's me. I love stories. During my long working life, I excelled in surrounding myself with mountains of information, then pulling out just the right story for the occasion. I straddle the line between nerdy intellectual and bold risk-taker. My two big novels reflect years of exploring the dilemmas of the trade in antiquities and cultural property. My memoir-novella TRIBE OF THE BREAKAWAY BEADS is more introspective, looking at the lives of women and what it takes to be a great dame. My memoir HEADLONG celebrates middle-age adventure and romance. KITTY'S PEOPLE combines the novel-writing and creative nonfiction skills into a page-turner of a family saga. MAD IN PURSUIT has been my workshop and publishing platform since 1999. Learn more>>>
MAD IN PURSUIT is a phrase from Shakespeare's Sonnet 129.
