Autorenporträt
Susan lives in the foothills of the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney, with her husband. They share their land with many kangaroos, wallabies, wombats, birds, and lizards. She loves history, political satire, entertaining and knitting. As both Susan and her husband were born in England, they love visiting their families, travelling on their narrowboat for multiple months each year. Rhyme and Reason includes knowledge gained on these journeys.
