Author & Illustrator
Suzanne emigrated from Scotland to Canada at the age of 10 and started writing in high school. Having had several poems and short stories published while completing her BA in English Literature from Guelph University, she paused her writing to raise her three sons. After furthering her education, Suzanne started her long career as an ESL teacher in London, Ontario. The quiet of the pandemic allowed Suzanne to resume her writing, which she is now doing full-time, with the occasional teaching day sprinkled in. When Suzanne isn’t writing, she’s creating new memories with her husband, her boys, and her beautiful grandbabies, and can often be spotted at a campground—if she’s lucky, her whole family is there too!
