Susan Ronald was born in Los Angeles but has lived most of her adult life in Europe - six years in France and over twenty-five years in England. History and translating it into commercially viable projects has been her lifeblood for the past thirty years. HERETIC QUEEN (August 2012) is her fourth published book and the final history she intends to write on Elizabeth I. She has recently completed her first novel SHAKESPEARE'S DAUGHTER which is currently in final edits and which will hopefully be published next year.With her husband, Dr Doug Ronald (YOUNG NELSONS), Susan owns a film production company called Green Gaia Films (www.greengaiafilms.co.uk) which marries their love of fascinating people of the past and history.
