Meet the author
Suzanne Lissaman
Hello! I’m Suzanne and I write page-turning stories about strong women who are doing their best to make their way in the world.
I’m an avid reader of a variety of genres, but rom coms are my favourite, and that’s what I love writing too.
I’m proud to say that I’ve won some respected awards for my books: Love Me Till Wednesday is the Romantic Novelists’ Association’s Romantic Comedy Novel Award 2025, and my first novel, Be More Octopus, was their Debut Romantic Novel 2024.
When I’m not writing, I’m also an artist and photographer.
With love and laughter,
Suzanne x
