Her second CD, In the Water, was recorded in Nashville, and produced by Grammy-nominated Mark Niemiec, and well-known Jewish rocker Dan Nichols.

She also currently works in special education. Sue grew up in New Rochelle, NY, and now lives in York Beach, Maine with her family: oncologist husband Rob, children Jacob and Emily, and two dumb but lovable retreivers.
