Sue Tredget grew up in Northern Ireland and now lives in Western Australia. She began writing during a year off from her job as a language teacher in 2014, after which she returned to teaching on a more flexible basis so that she could continue writing and pursue her other interests. These include travel, particularly to France, Italy and Spain, and working as a volunteer Speaker/Ambassador for the not-for-profit organisation beyondblue to raise awareness about mental health, increase community understanding and help break down stigma. Sue is also the author of Changing Lightbulbs, a non-fiction book about her experiences and the children's picture book series, My Colour Collection. She enjoys writing reflective articles which she posts on her website www.suetredget.com, drawing inspiration from the beauty of the natural world, her daily observations of the little things in life, and her travels.
