A lifelong fan of Sherlock Holmes, Susan has always been interested in the somewhat shadowy figure of his landlady, Mrs Hudson, and finally decided to give her a voice, in the short story collection, 'Mrs Hudson Investigates'. Since then, she has written four Mrs Hudson novels, 'Mrs Hudson goes to Ireland', 'Mrs Hudson goes to Paris', 'Death in the Garden of England' and most recently, 'Death in the Harem', which takes her heroine to Constantinople and the court of Sultan Abdul Hamid II. Susan has also contributed stories to many recent volumes of the MX Book of New Sherlock Holmes Stories, which she finds great fun to write. A recent collection of these stories has been published as 'The Strange Case of the Pale Boy and other mysteries'.
She has published two other short story collections, 'Letting Rip' and 'Out of Order', which was long-listed for the Edgehill short story collection of the year. In addition, she is the author of three novels, 'The Invisible Woman', 'Grimaldi's Garden' and 'Gomorrah'. She also compiled a non-fiction book of interviews with immigrant women living in Ireland, 'Where the Grass is Greener'. Her plays have been produced on stage and radio and include 'Mr Moonlight', 'Upstairs', 'Amazon' and 'A Simple Twist of Fate'. She has won several prizes including the James Plunkett memorial award, the Bryan MacMahon award and the Mollie Keane award, all for short stories. She was born in Kent and attended Essex University. She has lived in Ireland for many years and has recently retired from teaching creative writing, to dedicate more time to her own work.
