Sue Seddon was born in Barrow-in-Furness. She grew up in a large family of eccentric characters. Her mother was a journalist and playwright. While at home, Sue acted and wrote for the local youth theatre. Her adventurous lifestyle has since included careers in catering, smallholding, teaching and property development. Sue has one daughter, an artist/performer.
Sue began writing about five years ago: two anecdotal accounts “fell off her pen” while setting up a second home in Eastern Europe. ‘The Big Bulgarian Adventure’ was published by PublishAmerica, and ‘Bulgaria Bites Back’ and ‘Sue Seddon's Little Book of Lancaster’ were published by Faber Publishing and Printing, Bulgaria. Sue writes and performs in and around Lancaster and is guilty of the regular review "What a Week!" for www.Lancaster4U.co.uk. Work in progress includes "My Family and Other Oddities" "The Vagina Diaries" and ‘Under The Plum Tree’.
Sue now writes for website and blog on a regular basis, reporting on the many excellent music and arts events in and around Lancaster. This mostly involves going out to hear bands in pubs which Sue does without complaint. The girl's devotion to duty is extraordinary.
Her latest venture is The Thursday Girls, a collection of idiosyncratic characters (there is no kinder way of describing them) who met at Thursday jazz sessions in Lancaster's Stonewell Tavern. From a common interest in words and music, the girls developed a repertoire of performances from the quirky to the ribald and now entertain regularly at the Stonewell.
Sue now writes and performs her own pieces in and around Lancaster at Spotlight, 6 Poets and on BBC Lancashire Radio.
Works in progress include the third Bulgarian novel, Under the Plum Tree, the autobiographical My Family and other Oddities and film synopsis The Excavation
