Susanne Rea

Susanne was born and raised in Bendigo, located in the heart of the Golden Triangle, Victoria, Australia.

After graduating from university, Susanne worked as a registered nurse before discovering her love of teaching, namely Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages and later in various health education roles.

Her overwhelming desire to travel and experience different cultures has taken Susanne around the globe. She has also lived, worked, and studied in both New Zealand and Japan.

Susanne has been a long-standing advocate for animal welfare, opening her home and heart to multiple animals in need. She has also sponsored rescued street cats in rural Hungary.

Now residing in Brisbane, Susanne is married and a proud aunt. She is happiest when surrounded by close family and friends, her beloved pets, and when dancing to Latin Music or creating portraits with coloured pencils.

The Most Purrfect Home Of All is Susanne’s first picture book, inspired by her greatest wish for all creatures great and small to be treated with love and kindness.
