Su Adams is a first time author and uses some of her knowledge of the many countries she has visited over the years in her books. She has lived in both Jamaica and Australia. She was a head teacher in England before she moved to Perth in Western Australia where she was a lecturer until her retirement. She is married with three children and four grandchildren. She is a keen filmgoer and an avid reader of all types of books from biographies and the classics to the latest Scandinavian crime thrillers but her all time favourite is " Wuthering Heights " by Emily Bronte. She now lives in Yorkshire with her husband and is, at present, happily working on her next book. She likes to spend her winters in sunnier climes but loves England in the spring, especially when the crocuses are in bloom.
