Sue Johnson

Sue Johnson is a poet, novelist and playwright. Her work is inspired by the Worcestershire countryside near her home, eavesdropping in local cafes and reading a wide range of novels and fairy-tales. When she's not writing she enjoys cooking, walking, yoga and visiting National Trust houses.

Sue's short stories have been published in most UK women's magazines, 'Allas' in Sweden and 'That's Life - Australia.' She also writes books aimed at helping other writers.

She published two novels with Indigo Dreams Publishing - 'Fable's Fortune' and 'The Yellow Silk Dress.' Her third and fourth novels 'Fortune's Promise' and 'Apple Orchard, Lemon Grove' were originally published by Endeavour Media and are now republished by Toadstone Press. Her fifth novel 'The Girl With Amber Eyes' began life as a My Weekly Pocket Novel.

'Apple Orchard, Lemon Grove', 'Fortune's Promise' and 'The Girl With Amber Eyes' are also available in audiobook format. They are narrated by Martin Hussingtree (narratorsuk@gmail.com)

Sue has published three joint poetry collections with poet and environmentalist Bob Woodroofe of Greenwood Press (www.greenwoodpress.co.uk)

Sue is very fortunate to have lexical-gustatory synaesthesia - which means she interprets some words and names as a specific taste. Synaesthesia in some form affects 4% of the population and is a gift, not a problem. Sue has created a short guide to the condition 'Synaesthesia - tasting words in a rainbow of sound' which she hopes will help others.

Sue is a Writing Magazine Creative Writing Tutor and also runs her own brand of writing classes. Further details of her work can be found at www.writers-toolkit.co.uk
