Suzy Duffy is an international and #1 bestselling author. She writes laugh–out–loud, life–affirming stories about women from five to ninety–five. (Sometimes she writes about men too, but only for comedic purposes – and pets – if they're funny.) Her debut US novel, Wellesley Wives became an instant bestseller, won numerous awards and critical acclaim and is due to be published in Norwegian, Sept 2013. She was a guest speaker at the Sydney Writer's Festival.

Newton Neighbors, her second US novel will be published; Sept 2013.

Other than this Suzy was a national radio DJ and television presenter in Ireland before she started writing. She has also been an interpreter in the United Nations, Geneva, a water ski instructor in Crete and a corn cutter in the south of France – from which she was fired!

She gives 10% of her royalties to WWW.FOBH.ORG because she believes in serendipity. (A serendipitist?) She plans to write a book a year for the next forty years and then she'll have a rethink.
