Flying and travel are in Susan Moss's blood – she visited four of the world's continents before starting school. She read avidly and wrote determinedly in between plotting to become a spy and building brother-proof camps.

She studied Psychology at Trinity College, Cambridge, taking part in some interesting experiments in parapsychology as well as playing trumpet in a Big Band.

A chance meeting in an Austrian ski hut resulted in more travel – this time to Germany, where she now lives in a small town outside Frankfurt with her husband and son.

She still makes use of her trumpet-playing, spying and camp-building skills in her busy life as an author, 
mother and freelance marketing consultant.

The Al-Eden Emergency is the third in S.P. Moss's serie

Luckily, he's a writer too, so I could pinch and pilfer many of his experiences for my story. He also acted as my technical advisor.

In addition, living in Germany, many local sights and landmarks inspired me. I found the name "Krautwurst" on a gravestone, for example.(less)

“Lost Empires” is a story with several layers of nostalgia. It’s set in 1913, but related with hindsight from the 1960s. And from my own memory, the TV series from the 1980s starring the young Colin Firth. These two later eras are also long-vanished, ...more
