Born a Londoner, Susie Kelly spent most of the first 25 years of her life in Kenya. She now lives in south-west France with her husband and assorted animals.
She believes that her explosive temper is a legacy from her Irish-American grandfather, but has no idea who to blame for her incompetence as a housewife. Still, she’s very kind to animals, small children and elderly people.
Susie particularly enjoys exploring the road less travelled, discovering the lives and events of lesser-known places.
Susie has a rapidly growing, dedicated, fan base. All 5 of her popular travel books dominate Amazon’s UK paid French Travel Bestsellers Top 20. They are often #1 and in the Top 10, having recently achieved #1, #2, #3, #4 and #5!
The Valley of Heaven and Hell is Susie’s fourth non-fiction book and a Blackbird Digital Books original. Best Foot Forward – A 500-Mile Walk Through Hidden France, and Travels With Tinkerbelle, 6,000 Miles Around France In A Mechanical Wreck are revised and updated versions of her Transworld UK bestsellers, now available in the US for the first time, as well as the UK.
25% of Susie’s royalties from The Valley of Heaven and Hell will be shared equally between Cancer Research and Tower Hill Stables Sanctuary in Essex.
