New York born, but living in Minnesota, S. J. Schwaidelson is a playwright, political blogger, and novelist. Now a widow, S.J. met her husband at the University of Minnesota while she was pursuing a Master of Fine Arts degree in theater direction, and they settled in Saint Paul, his home town. After the boys were born, she switched to playwrighting for children, and spent 20 years working on commissioned musicals as part of Schwaidelson and Waterman, Playwrights. Between plays, there were kids to raise, a husband to humor, day jobs, and novels to write. Her alter ego has been writing The Wifely Person Speaks since 2010. Read world-wide, the blog opened the doors to a number of unique opportunities, including a Google Hangout on women’s issues for the New York Times, writing commentary for Minnesota Public Radio, and a very interesting interview with the German newspaper, Der Spiegel, after a silent flash-mob protest. She continues to publish The Wifely Person Speaks weekly and has yet to skip a deadline.
