Susie Dinneen

Before Susie Dinneen became a writer, she was a reader, and before that she was a dreamer. Now she’s all of those things. She catches stories that flit and float through the air, which is what she’s really doing when it looks like she’s daydreaming (although sometimes she’s just daydreaming).

She writes fast-paced adventures for young readers, about friendship, finding the truth, and treasure!

Her picture book, Nombulelo and the Moth, for 4 to 8 year olds, is about love and being brave, even when there are leopards in the forest.

She lives in Johannesburg, South Africa, with her husband, who’s a musician, and their cat, who pushes books off tables. One day she’ll have a library with a very comfy chair in it.
