Susie Kelly was born in grey post-war London, but spent much of her childhood and young adulthood in the beautiful country of Kenya. Since 1995 she has lived in south-west France with a menagerie of dogs, pygmy goats and an African grey parrot, and is passionate about animal welfare. Her published titles include seven books on living and travelling in and around France, a memoir of growing up in Africa, an account of a Kenyan wildlife safari, and two cookery books. Her first book "Best Foot Forward" was published by Transworld Publishers in 2003, followed by "Two Steps Backward" in 2004, and "A Perfect Circle" in 2006. Since 2011 Susie's books have been published by Blackbird Digital Books, whose theme is strong, adventurous women living life to the full. Blackbird Digital Book people love birds and animals, travel, history, romance, natural health and environment, resourcefulness, humour, the surreal and magic, so they are the perfect match for Susie. Since the publication of her latest book in 2021, 'It's A Mad World', she has started working on writing a novel. Offered a choice of three attributes, she would choose courage, compassion and a sense of humour.
