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)

This is the first Elizabeth Taylor book I’ve read and I’m cock-a-hoop at discovering a “new old” author.

In the 1960s, it was customary for reasonably well-to-do old people who weren’t quite decrepit enough for the “Old Folks’ Home” to go and live in

This was a book I wanted to read again as soon as I’d finished it. Rather like the pace of life itself, I read the early, youthful diaries with positive impatience but slowed down and savoured the last years as I knew it was all winding up.
