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)

I have mixed reactions to “The Artist”. I enjoyed reading the first chapters, due to the immersive, evocative atmosphere. But as the novel continued, I was increasingly irritated by the basic, simplistic plot and the (maximum) two-dimensional charact ...more

In the late 1980s, whilst on holiday in Corfu, I took a boat trip on which we had glimpses of what the guide told us was “mysterious Albania.” I didn’t spend too long thinking about what went on there, apart from registering that it wasn’t part of Yu ...more

Slow Horses by Mick Herron

I had to have my wits about me with this one. It’s smart, seedily atmospheric and pacey. The writing style is clever, with shifting points of view and plenty of cynical asides - sometimes a bit too clever for me. But I caught up by the end.

I picked up this book and didn’t read the blurb properly - my fault. I was expecting a memoir from the Ukrainian point of view about growing up post-Soviet. In fact, it’s from the perspective of a British language student - a young woman of the sort ...more

“Random Harvest” was every bit as engrossing as the other James Hilton novels I’ve read. It’s the story of a shell-shocked WW1 veteran who loses and regains his memory - twice.

The novel is cleverly structured with a non-chronological flow and a mix o
