edit data

Sue owes her love of words to her father and her storytelling to an imaginative childhood - and to the children she taught for many years before becoming a full-time author. As a teacher she wrote the Christmas productions and loved Story Time best. Inspired by Michael Morpurgo, she wrote THE WATERHOUSE GIRL, the story of Daisy, a girl who like Sue herself has alopecia, and was delighted when he rang her to tell her it was insightful, poignant and beautifully written. She now has sixteen novels for 6 - 16 and beyond, and writes historical,futuristic and contemporary stories, fantasy, adventures and mysteries. Sue still enjoys working with children when schools book her to inspire their pupils.
