Suzanne White is a Scorpio-Tiger in her unique astrology that marries East and West. If that sounds formidable, it's in line with an author able to reinvent herself by pouncing on, and adapting her content to emerging mediums. Since publishing her first book in 1975, she's come back from a life-threatening illness, and blazed her own trail as a writer-astrologer. In this re-emergence phase, she's revamped her website, and launched a New Astrology application on the social networking site, Facebook.

What keeps readers coming back to her writing, is her playful, no-nonsense voice shining through. Her goal is to de-complicate astrology, and weave in humor. In this Q & A, she offers advice to other authors on e-publishing and retaining e-rights. She also reveals how she creates her New Astrology horoscopes, and why the blending of East and West works wonders every time.
