Suzanne Hope

Suzanne grew up in Heysham Village in Lancashire, the UK and studied history before launching a career in fundraising and marketing for International NGOs. She has lived in London, Geneva, Rome, Bangkok and Panama and loves exploring the history and stories of the places she lives. She has a particular fascination with legends, pirates and Roman history but also likes reading (and writing) 'chick-lit' -- when it has a colorful cast and is set in a fabulous location (Check out The Bookshop of Panama). ?She now spends her time between New York, the UK and Rome with her husband Francesco and two cats Mimi and Bunny.
