She married in 1983 and, with her husband, Dan, raised three daughters. He told her she needed to live life first. Still drawn to the written word, she asked one of her professors what she should do at this point with her writing.
But after graduation, her interests shifted to museum work and she took a secretarial position with the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.Ī year later, she entered graduate school at the University of Texas at Austin where she earned a Masters of Arts in American Studies. While at the University of Virginia, she wrote for the student paper, The Cavalier Daily, and held an internship at the Nashville Banner. Gregg Gilmore knew at an early age that she wanted to write but was soon drawn to journalism not fiction.

Susan Gregg Gilmore, author of Looking for Salvation at the Dairy Queen, was born in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1961.
