Who am I
I am an author, developmental editor and freelance writer who has been an expat since 1993 when my husband and I escaped the cold of Canada for warmer climes. We now live in Thailand where I continue to feed my addiction to writing… and travel. I used to specialize in writing for social media, marketing, corporate communications and public relations but now spend my days in a newly found passion - writing fiction and helping others bring their story ideas to life. My first novel, Mental Pause, launched on International Women’s Day, March 8, 2013 and won a bronze medal for best adult fiction in the 2013 Independent Publisher Book Awards (IPPYs). My second novel, Deep Deceit, launched the same day in 2015 and is the foundation for a new series I'm working on called The Susan Morris Expat Mysteries.

Along with my two novels, Mental Pause and Deep Deceit, I am also the author of @Home in Dubai…Getting Connected Online and on the Ground (published by Summertime Publishing); and 10 Steps to a Successful PR Campaign – a Do-it-Yourself Guide for Authors (self-published on Kindle). I also co-published an anthology, Phuket Island Writers - an Anthology of Short Stories, in which I have two short stories. I am currently working on the screenplay for Mental Pause.
