Biographie de Susan Preston
The fact I am alive today is a miracle. The surgery for aneurysms resulted in most of my aorta having a very long graft. Three surgeons had called me called a walking time bomb. But here I am. Well and busy. I was born in Peebles, a town in the Scottish borders, but moved to Australia in 1975. I live in Perth, Western Australia. I have worked as a shop assistant, double loom weaver, trained as a Psychiatric nurse and worked as an After-care Nursing Sister in an outpatient clinic and in the community.
My last job (before being bitten by the writing bug) was as a certified computer trainer. (Certificate IV in Training and Assessing). The holder of a Microsoft Master qualification in Office 2007, I enjoyed my work in a Registered Training Centre. I also had some private students and wrote manuals for them re-interpreting the jargon filled, missing steps manuals that left beginners wanting to quit.
I loved the 'aha' moment when it clicked for a student, especially mature aged learners. So far two books in this series have been published. Hold the Faith, and book 2, Grow in Grace. After the death of my husband, I was unable to concentrate for long, so spent my writing time completing 'Geoff's Last Journeyings', a record for friends and family my husband's last year in the battle with Pulmonary Fibrosing.
I have also kept up my blogs... Hold the Faith. Now, it is time to start work on the existing first draft of book three in the Apostle John series. Christian history fascinates me and a Bible Study on the Apostle John inspired me to set this history down. I am a practising Christian, a Sabbath keeper and member of a very supportive church.
