A heady cocktail
of orange sunset,
cassis-and-cranberry sea,
high spirits
and icy water,
which snaps
on peach-soft skin
as the cherry
is happily surrendered.

Sue is a British novelist, an award-winning poet, and a member of the editorial team of Crooked Cat Publishing. She speaks French like a Belgian, German like a schoolgirl, and Italian like an Englishwoman abroad.
She has a mind which is sufficiently warped as to be capable of compiling questions for BBC Radio 4’s fiendishly difficult Round Britain Quiz – an attribute which once caused one of her sons to describe her as “professionally weird.”
Sue lives in Cheshire with her husband and a large collection of unfinished scribblings.
