Born and bred in Liverpool, Sue moved to the Midlands to study drama at Loughborough University and thereafter continued further south to work for a conference and events’ organiser and subsequently an independent TV production company. Following a period at home bringing up her children, she began work as a special needs assistant, working over the next few years in two local primary schools. She also gained a Post-Graduate Diploma in drama therapy at the Roehampton Institute and enjoyed a stint as a school governor. Sue has been involved for many years in running after-school drama clubs and workshops and has helped to devise and run several holiday clubs. She has published a book of sketches and stories for churches and schools, entitled Brush Strokes (Kevin Mayhew, 2004) and also works with popular songwriters Mark and Helen Johnson and Margaret Carpenter. Sue has written the scripts for ten ‘Out of the Ark Music’ productions, including Stable Manners, Hoodwinked, Wind in the Willows and, most recently, Cinderella ’n’ Rockerfella. Sue has also been involved for many years with a church-based drama group, Vision Theatre, writing scripts, performing and operating puppets. She is currently attempting to develop ventriloquism skills and, in her spare time, is an accomplished liar, acting at Murder Mystery dinners for a company called The Killing Game. Beware! Sue now lives in Surrey with her husband, Paul. They have two grown-up children and four dogs.
