Susan Colleen Browne

Susan Colleen Browne, a novelist and creative writing instructor, writes and gardens from her little farm in the foothills of the Pacific Northwest, USA. She’s a big fan of “Downton Abbey” (favorite hero: Branson, the Irish guy), and the novels of Irish author Marian Keyes.

If you enjoy Irish stories yourself, you might like Susan’s Village of Ballydara series! The series includes novels about young Irish women struggling with family relationships and finding lasting love, and family-centered short stories. Susan is currently finishing a 3rd Ballydara novel, to be released Winter 2015. Since she loves reading and watching Irish stories too, she shares a list of favorite Irish books and movies at www.susancolleenbrowne.com.

Susan’s memoir, "Little Farm in the Foothills," is a lighthearted account of her first, tumultuous year of country life. A tale for gardeners, nature lovers, and dreamers of all ages, "Little Farm" was a Washington State Library Summer Reads selection. If you like backyard farming, cooking with homegrown food and country living, you’ll find Susan’s stories and pics at www.littlefarminthefoothills.blogspot.com.

Susan is also the author of the Morgan Carey fantasy-adventure series for kids. Book 2, “Morgan Carey and The Mystery of the Christmas Fairies” was released December 2014.

When not writing, Susan is baking bread, tending vegetable beds, and dreaming up new Irish stories!
