Sue Cross was born in the Wirral, England and has lived in Hong Kong, Mauritius, Australia and Spain. Widely travelled, she has visited more than fifty countries. Apart from writing, she enjoys painting, reading, good coffee and cooking curries.

After running the skin care company, Susan Molyneux, for over twenty years she retired and decided to write, using her experiences abroad to paint vivid pictures of life in the changing times of the 60's and 70's.

She is married, has a grown up family, lives in the Cotswolds and is a frequent visitor to southern Spain.

Her debut novel, Tea at Sam's, was published in 2011 and Making Scents followed in 2013. She drew on her experiences as an expat when writing Tea at Sam's and quotes, 'If you have not visited these far flung lands, let my words take you there.'

Making Scents is the sequel and features the same characters plus a few more, including Tash, a troubled young woman and her Spanish lover, Luis. As in the first novel, the sequel employs the theme of the restorative power of friendship. Drawing on her knowledge of the beauty industry, Sue has written a fast-paced family drama based in England and Spain.

Petals in the Sand, is a collection of short stories and poems with a spiritual theme and is available as an e-book.

After winning several awards for her short stories, Sue decided to publish a collection of flash fiction. Stories to Go, which is available as a paperback and ebook, consists of ninety-three varied stories.
