Author Bio:

Suzie Peace Pybus lives on a little fruit and vegetable farm in Tasmania, Australia with her husband and springer spaniel, Pepper. Although she tries to help grow things, her reliable talent for killing plants provides the perfect excuse to retreat to her favourite armchair and write instead.

Suzie's first manuscript won the Omega Writers CALEB Award for unpublished fiction in 2022, which she later recrafted and published as Paint the Walls Red.

Her debut novel, When All the Birds Sing, was a finalist in the 2025 ACFW Carol Awards.

Alongside her women's fiction stories, Suzie has started writing a cosy mystery series.
