edit data

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 ...more

This is a long and ambitious book (although the last 25% on my Kindle is acknowledgements, an extensive list of sources and an index). It’s not particularly easy to read on Kindle because of the many quotes and references. “Infantilised” is an accoun ...more

“Gabriel’s Moon” is the tale of an insomniac travel writer who inadvertently becomes a spy. The book is set in the early 1960s and has a great sense of time and place - from London to Spain to the Congo. I always enjoy the way that Boyd skillfully we ...more

This is the sort of book which I don’t suppose is written any more. If you’re not keen on meandering, (convoluted?), lyrical sentences that go on for a paragraph or even a page, this isn’t for you. I’ve seen the film “Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence” a f ...more
