Susan Greenwood was born in the North of England but now lives in rural West Sussex, surrounded by stunning scenery and locations which feature in much of her writing.

She graduated from Manchester University with a degree in Zoology and, although the natural world is still an important part of her life, it's her long-held love of literature, both reading and writing, that is now her main driving force.

Growing up hearing about Pendle witches and with a fascination for the social history of the 17th century, particularly how this relates to the lives of women, has been the basis for her first two published books and a third which is still in the research phase.

Susan is the author of several short stories and two novels, The House Book, which is set in the beautiful downland surrounding Petworth, and An Uncertain Legacy, set in 17th century France and England.
