After many years spent living in California working at Lucasfilm, Susan Moore returned to the green and pleasant lands of England. She now lives with her husband and daughter near the Devil's Punch Bowl in Surrey where she loves to walk her two small, but really fast, chippets.

On rainy mornings when a damp mist descends on the landscape and Susan is lost once again, she can easily imagine how Conan-Doyle was inspired to write Hound of the Baskervilles.

As well as the world of the past she is fascinated by the potential of the near-future and its use of technology. She recently received an MA with distinction in Creative Writing from Kingston University.
