Suzanne Parsons

A chance meeting as a teenager with a woman whose fiancé flew in the First World War triggered Suzanne’s fascination with the adventures and aviation of this period. But after a degree in Chemical Sciences at Leeds University and a career as a development chemist, there seemed little opportunity to pursue such interests. That was until a move to the Scottish Highlands provided the perfect career change to do so. Working as a librarian and surrounded by books, Suzanne was able to indulge her passion for literature, creative writing, historical fiction and everything aviation.

Several research trips to Belgium and Northern France resulted in Suzanne’s first book, Secrets in the Sky, which was one of nine books selected for Hachette UK’s Future Bookshelf Cohort for 2021. The book is the first in a fictional series of female-led wartime adventure stories.

A keen runner, Suzanne divides her time between family, her feline friends, writing, reading, overseeing a local writing group, library work and, of course, watching the sky.
