In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Robert Plank talks with Susan about how she turned generations of family history into Forever Stalwart, a gripping, novel-style series that feels more like an epic saga than a genealogy report The series follows three real Mormon pioneer families: Titus Billings, Isaac Morley, and Edward Tuttle, as they navigate persecution, the Missouri extermination order, disease, starvation, harsh weather, and repeated forced migrations in their quest for religious freedom. Susan explains how a single request from her father to “write Grandpa’s story” led her into years of pre-Internet research in small museums and libraries, reconstructing the life of her great-great-grandfather after his original journal was lost, refining. https://youtu.be/eu983UhCWwE?si=ZVYXVe_6gdHeIii1 What began as an 800-page historical “brick” has become a multi-volume saga organized by both location (Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, across the plains, and Salt Lake) and spiritual theme (discovery, testing, sacrifice, enduring, refining). Susan shares how she balances strict historical accuracy with engaging storytelling, carefully weaving in fictionalized letters and scenes, but always documenting her sources and clearly labeling what’s imagined. You’ll hear why her motto is “Hearts Turn When History Talks,” how understanding pioneer hardships can give us fresh perspective on modern “problems,” and how she’s using tools like FamilySearch and Amazon print-on-demand to make these stories available to current and future generations.
