Susan Northway Olasky (born 1954) is an American journalist and the author of eight historical novels for children.

Youth and education

Born Susan Northway[1] in Royal Oak, Michigan, United States, Olasky attended the University of Michigan where her liberal beliefs found a home on the Impeach Nixon campaign. After graduation in 1976, Olasky married Marvin Olasky, moved to California and became an evangelical.[citation needed] In 1983, Olasky received an M.A. in Urban Affairs from the University of Delaware in Newark, Delaware, where she was a volunteer counselor at a crisis pregnancy center.

Career and works

Upon moving to Texas in 1983, Olasky founded the Austin Crisis Pregnancy Center and co-authored a number of articles opposing abortion as well as a book, More Than Kindness: A Compassionate Approach to Crisis Childbearing.[2] Olasky also wrote a regular column for the West Austin News during this time period. In the 1990s, Olasky chaired the board of Care Net, a national network of more than 1,050 crisis pregnancy centers.[3]

Olasky began writing for World in 1995 and in 1997, achieved notoriety for several cover stories reporting on a controversial gender-neutral Bible translation.[4]

In recent years, Olasky has served as World’s book editor and senior writer. She has authored the Annie Henry and Will Northaway series of historical novels, in each case using a Revolutionary War setting.

On September 22, 2006, an $800 Jeopardy clue – “Susan Olasky has written a kids’ series about the adventures of Annie, daughter of this fiery Virginia orator” – was a triple stumper.[5]
