Bio
I love to write - it's my escape from the hum-drum into pure fantasy. Where else can you get into a stranger's brain, have a love affair or do a murder? I write poems, short stories, plays, 3 novels and a cookbook. www.suzsimandeville.com

There was only eight minutes left before my shift was supposed to be over. Back at the station, I had been getting ready to go home, packing my stuff in my handbag, thinking about dinner… then the call had come in and I had come here.

Forgotten Days Past
“After all, if you have a chance of being shot or blown up any day, what threat is lung cancer?” Joe reasoned and dragged another puff on his Woodbine. He glanced up out of their hole; distant flashes of fire lit his eyes. Smoke that held the tang of scorched earth, burnt metal and hell, filled his nostrils.
