A magical Middle-Grade Graphic Novel that will take you on an unforgettable adventure!
Growing up in the heart of the Belgian Congo (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo, or DRC), Sue spent her childhood surrounded by the sounds of the jungle, barefoot adventures, and the wonderful world of comics.
As a reluctant reader, Sue discovered that comics opened the door to reading in a way nothing else could. She couldn't wait to lose herself in the colourful pages of Tintin, Asterix, and The Smurfs. Every adventure sparked her imagination and filled her with wonder.
But Sue didn't just read the stories, she lived them! With every turn of the page, she was transported to magical new worlds filled with brave heroes, unforgettable friends, and extraordinary adventures.
Those childhood moments planted a dream that stayed with her all her life: one day, she hoped to create a magical adventure of her own… for children everywhere!
Fast forward a few years (okay, quite a few), with a home filled with her own children, Sue began to hear the whisperings of brave little heroes and really nasty, greedy baddies. Soon her mind overflowed with ideas for epic quests, mysterious relics, faraway lands and a big adventure that was just waiting to be told. The spark that began in childhood comics had turned into full-blown story magic.
Before stepping into the world of graphic novels, Sue built a career in international advertising, telling stories for global brands. Later, she founded her own promotions company focused on kids and teens (because, let's face it, they're way more fun than grown-ups). After moving to Australia in 2006, she spent four exciting years in the animation industry before co-founding The Gaswerx, a boutique creative agency, where imagination constantly flourished. She's retired now to focus solely on her graphic novel series… The Stone of Shiro!
After years of scribbling, writing, deleting, countless cups of coffee, and despite more than a few disappointments, she stuck it out and now, finally, Sue's dream really has come true! Thanks to the wonderful support of an incredible illustrator Stefano and the magical team at Papercutz, Sue's debut middle-grade graphic novel has been published!
