Dublin, CA Author Publishes New Book

Changes and Challenges, a new book by Suzie M. Keels, has been released by RoseDog Books.

This book is about Suzie M. Keels' life of changes and challenges. Keels' problems started at age five. She felt she was a girl and wondered why her body wasn't like her female playmates' bodies. Keels thought she must be a bad person as she switched back and forth from male to female three times a day.

Things did not improve when she entered school. Keels was unable to learn to read, write or do math. Keels graduated from high school without ever having learned to read. Being illiterate in a world based on the written word is a very difficult thing. Fortunately, Keels had mechanical aptitude and learned to work as a mechanic. She worked at masculine jobs in an attempt to escape her female personality. She got married and had children, and still felt like she was a woman in a male body. Finally her marriage ended and Keels came out at work as a transsexual and that changed her life.

After she retired as Chief Mechanic at the City of Los Altos, Keels decided to write the story of her life. This required that she learn to read at age 67. When she went back to school, she learned why she had been unable to learn to read. Keels was dyslexic. Learning to read when you are dyslexic is not an easy thing. But she was determined…and was lucky to find help along the way.
