Susan ÖrnbrattSusan Örnbratt was born in London, Canada and grew up on the dance floor until her brother's high school rowing crew needed a coxswain. Quickly, she traded in her ballet shoes for a megaphone and went on to compete in the Junior and Senior World Chamionships and the XIII Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh, Scotland.A graduate from the University of Western Ontario in French and the University of Manitoba in elementary education, as well as attending L'Université Blaise Pascal Clermont-Ferrand II in France while she worked as a fille au pair, Susan has gone on to teach and live in six countries.Although a maple leaf will forever be stitched on her heart, she has called Sweden her home for the past sixteen years with a recent three-year stint in North Carolina, USA for her husband's work. It was there where Susan wrote The Particular Appeal of Gillian Pugsley.Susan lives in Gothenburg with her husband and two children and an apple tree beloved by the local moose population. If she isn't shooing away the beasts, you can find her in her garden with some pruning shears, a good book and always a cup of tea. If Susan were dried out, she could be brewed.
