edit data

Suzanne Westgate is a mother and lawyer who never let go of her inner pirate. She grew up in a small harbourside town, often kayaking to shelly islands after school. In her early twenties, Suzanne backpacked through South America and Asia, and her adventures—sailing, caving, mountaineering, surfing, diving in the Caribbean with a crew of prisoners on parole, abseiling, skiing down a live volcano (mostly on her bottom), blowing things up with dynamite, and very nearly getting kidnapped—helped inspire the Joneses and the Pirateers.

Suzanne and her family live in Sydney, where they enjoy their own adventures, treasure hunts, dance-offs, booby traps, and pirate-themed birthday parties.

Giggling as I add colourful pranks and booby-traps that I know my kids will love; watching them laugh out loud as I read Book One to them; hearing from young (and young at heart) readers who have loved it and are demanding Book Two; and escaping into a magical, fantasy world of pirate adventure every time I work on the series.
