Artist

Sue Parritt

Originally from England, Sue Parritt worked in university libraries until taking early retirement in 2008 to write novels. Since then, Sue has had eleven novels published. Prior to retirement, short stories, poetry and articles were published in Australian, US and UK magazines.

Passionate about social justice, Sue’s goal is to continue creating intrepid characters prepared to risk reputation and sometimes their lives, to effect positive change in a troubled world. She intends to write for as long as possible, believing the extensive life experiences of older writers can be employed to engage readers of all ages.
