About
Although Suzy is a Yorkshire lass at heart, she left her home town of Rotherham, UK, to move to Portugal with her family when she was ten.
The Algarve continues to be her home, where she lives with her childhood sweetheart and husband Michael, and their menagerie of cats and dogs.
Suzy's career began soon after completing her A levels when she was offered the position of trainee journalist for a local English newspaper. Her love of writing developed and a few years later she moved on to become assistant editor for the region's largest English language publisher. Since then she has also worked as the editor of one of the Algarve's most loved monthly lifestyle magazines. Early in 2010 however, Suzy began working as a freelance writer and author. She has since completed four novels for teens, Raven, December Moon, The Lost Soul and The Ghost of Josiah Grimshaw (out November 2012), which are available from all good online retailers.

Story Behind The Book
December Moon, part II of the Raven Saga, was inspired by a visit to Powell River in Canada. I thought the surroundings were so beautiful, yet eerie and mysterious. The perfect setting for something supernatural!
