Susan was born in the Highlands of Scotland and now lives by the sea near Edinburgh in an old house filled with books and paintings, with her family and their rescue pooch.

She's a writer, publisher, theatre critic, academic and lifelong student.  Her early career was spent in the legal profession, working in Scotland and in South East Asia, where she lived for over ten years.  

Upon returning to the UK, after further study, her career took a different direction and she is now the director of an award-winning publishing company.  She has written over forty books for adults and children.
