Suzanne Shaw is a life-long writer who has practiced law and was also trained as a journalist. She began writing historical fiction so she could spend as much time as possible in the 18th and early 19th centuries. She has been fortunate enough to research the historical background and settings of her work in the Bodleian Library, the London Library, and in Cornwall. She lives with her rescue cat in the Pacific Northwest United States. Her first novel was published in 2024.
