Sue Wald
Under her Nom de Plume 'Sue Wald', she has penned 'A Day in the Life', a Very Short Memoir of a hundred pages - of which 'Players' forms part - set over three days of Hallowtide, when two urns in the author´s garden inspire her to transport the reader almost a hundred years back in time via Spain and Germany to her grandfather Kurt´s hometown in Sudetenland, with the help of poems and stories within stories, offering glimpses of her granddad´s life before, during, and after WWII - including an entertaining lunch encounter with Oskar Schindler himself - as well as peeks into her own life and ghosts of the past.
She is also the author of a Short Thriller - 'Faith Value' – set in Spain, Romania, and Turkey.
As a Thursday Child and multilingual language teacher, she has helped enough school children (and adults) on their way to be able to look back on a life not wasted and heave a sigh of relief, not too far from a secluded sandy beach and enjoying good food and a good read in the company of her cats and dogs.
