Humour; Australian Fiction

"The essence of a good writer is to find that 'writer's moment' - that little piece of observable idiosyncratic behaviour where humour lives. How Susanna loves to discover those eccentricities in people's characters that she can frame on her artist's canvas.

Humour is found in the ordinary, the everyday, the awkward and the sublimely ridiculous events that grace our faces. When faced with the Covid-19 pandemic during 2020 Susanna's pen had hardly time to rest between scenarios, furiously recording stories, such as the stupidity of the Tissue Issue - 'Spare a Square, ' or about the sneaky company tricks in 'Plays and Ploys'.

Other stories share precious family time with her little granddaughter, whilst many raise issues prevalent in all our lives. Instead of becoming exasperated by incompetence, or the folly of people's foolishness, Susanna's pen quickly slips into writing mode to create each immensely amusing saga.

'That Perfect Little Writing Day'

Knock, knock.

""Who's there?""

""Me,"" a newly turned three-year-old gives her nanny a kiss.

""Where did you come from?""

""From the door.""

""How d'you get here?""

""I walked. Silly Nanny - I don't drive!""

The stories and poems are written for entertainment. Coffee Time invites you into the coffee shop to sip one or more of the delicious brews on offer. Please stay a while and chat and share these little treasures with your family and friends."

Susanna lives in Sydney, Australia where she works as a specialist teacher of students with learning difficulties. During her professional career, she enjoyed working as the Disability Consultant before accepting the roles of principal in both special education and mainstream schools. Susanna has a passion for teaching, a career that spans more than 55 years, which combined with her love of writing affords her a busy, but highly rewarding lifestyle. Living close to the south coast beaches of Wollongong, south of Sydney, Susanna's inspiration for her writing comes from the beautiful coastal and mountainous environments on her home doorstep.
