Sue-Ellen Pashley is a writer of copious amounts of words (just because if they didn't come out, she's sure her head would explode), Sue-Ellen writes everything from picture books to young adult fantasies. A best-selling, internationally published author, she gets a real thrill out of not being able to read a story she's written when it's translated to another language. An eternal optimist, she enjoys making things difficult for her protagonists, but loves a satisfying ending. In her other life, she lives in Central Queensland with her family, a bordoodle called Bella and a snake called Slide. She loves quirky shoes, dark chocolate and a good tea.
