Susie Day grew up in Penarth, Wales, with a lisp and a really unfortunate first name.Her many careers have included guiding tourists, professional nappy-changing, teaching small people how many beans make five and taller people how to interrogate the beans from a post-structuralist perspective, and herding boarding school students - but she always wanted to be a writer. She firmly believes in the dictum 'write what you know', which is why her books are about cake, the internet, and helpless romantic flailitude.Susie currently lives in Oxford, England, and is probably drinking a cup of tea right now (she usually has one around this time of day).
