Susan writes under her birth name of Shelley Nonanda Harris. She began her life in 1966 with an ‘accidental’ adoption and grew up in a largely dysfunctional family. At the age of 16 an unusual chain of events reunited her with her past, and the healing began.
 
Susan is now an experienced teacher who also runs her own drama school. The stories in her My Nanny collection are intended for those who find themselves in less-than-conventional families. The first of this series Invisible Elephants was published in 2018 through CopyPress and addresses issues faced by children living in dysfunctional families. It is the author’s hope that these stories will give readers the courage to rise above their circumstances.

Since then, Susan has published four further books in the series, the most recent of which, The Patchwork Family, was released in 2023.
