À propos

SUSAN MAXWELL is an independent author and scholar who has had short stories and poetry published and commissioned in magazines and anthologies.

In 2014 Little Island Books published the novel 'Good Red Herring'. Maxwell independently published further novels suitable for younger readers, set in the same fictional 'Hibernia Altera' universe; she also writes slipstream works aimed at an adult rather than a universal readership.

Apart from writing fiction, Maxwell has served on juries for the British Fantasy Awards; has a PhD in Archival Science and writes on archives and fiction; and reviews regularly for 'Inis', the magazine of Children’s Books Ireland. Literary influences come mostly from speculative and modernist fiction, particularly Flann O'Brien, Calvino, Beckett, and Woolf.

When not writing, or painting, or being an archivist, the author can be found in the vegetable patch, listening to music, reading books, watching old detective series, or catching up on sleep.
