SUSAN EDMUNDS is a business journalist by day and a fiction scribbler by night. She lives in Whangarei, New Zealand, with her husband Jeremy and their two children, Liam and Olivia. Most of Susan's non-work writing relates to motherhood and the crazy experience of being left to take care of a child when you have no real idea what you're doing. When she gets the chance at some time off, she spends it with her children, exercising and trying to tackle her sleep deficit.
