Susan O’Neill is a writer, editor, RN, Army and Peace Corps veteran, and old woman.
She is not an “old lady ,” because of her propensity for unlady-like language. Her first book was banned from a display table in the book store at Fort Sam Houston, Texas—even though she graduated from basic training at that very fort 33 years before, and the book was a fiction collection loosely based on her service in Army hospitals in Viet Nam.
It was banned because a retired Lady General opened it, and gasped, “That Word.”
