"An extraordinary first novel, rich in atmosphere - its sense of place, reminiscent of the best Scandinavian fiction. Exceptionally well plotted and utterly immersive. I read it in one breathless, terrified gulp." Available now!

In 2020 she was awarded a mentorship through Hachette's Future Bookshelf Initiative and was delighted to work with Hodder Executive Publisher Jo Dickinson on the manuscript  for her debut novel into 2021 The book was long listed for the Caledonia Novel Award 2022 and in January 2022, she signed with wonderful agent Euan Thorneycroft at London agency AM Heath Ltd.

 

Suzy's spooky debut novel Crow Moon is now available from Orenda Books, and all good booksellers, in paperback, ebook and audiobook She lives in Scotland with her family and when she’s not writing is usually walking in the woods with assorted kids, dogs and horses.
