Susan Bennett
Biography
Susan Bennett's first job entailed selling very large knives (think the bowie knife – that’s not a knife, this is a knife – from Crocodile Dundee) to complete strangers, along with camping goods and other assorted goodies such as replica pistols. Twenty years on, it finally occurred to her to wonder what some of those people wanted those replica pistols for, and she strongly suspects that many of the people she sold handcuffs to weren’t actually buying them as a joke gift, as they said. As such thoughts never entered her young head, she was able to look her customers happily in the eye and smile broadly as she helped them with their purchases, never suspecting that in an hour’s time they would be handcuffed to a bed somewhere.
Since then she has worked in a mercantile agency, in technical support in the early days of P.C.s; mostly in administration and once, packing boxes. She feels the less said about that last one the better.
She cites Lisa Simpson as her greatest influence.
In addition to Grace, she has developed The Cook's Toolkit by Clever Pumpkin. Some of her recent short fiction appears in Overland (203) and Etchings (10.)
She is currently considering writing a sequel to Grace and will soon release Trial of the Romance Novelist.
