Susan Moore was born in the verdant county of Derbyshire. She emigrated to California in her early twenties in search of sunshine and adventure. She found both at Skywalker Ranch, where she worked for the creative force of Lucasfilm. Unable to escape her own destiny, she finally returned home to England and embarked on the long road to becoming an author.
She now lives in Surrey with her husband, daughter, and two, busy dogs - a chippet, and her very own wolf. She is fascinated by the potential of technology, particularly robots, and is keeping fingers crossed that dragon robots, like Fizz in her Nat Walker Trilogy, will soon become a part of everyday life.
Susan has an MA with distinction in Creative Writing from Kingston University. A BBC Radio Interview with Susan can be found on www.susanmooreauthor.com

Nat Walker is the orphan heiress to her parents' games empire. While the mystery behind their deaths remains unsolved, Nat must fend off the unwelcome and avaricious attentions of her aunt, who is keen to "adopt" her and her millions. When her guardian, Jamuka, is called back to Mongolia by a clan emergency, Nat discovers vital information about the poison that is killing his people. She decides to follow him, and in doing so, becomes drawn into the deadly game of revenge, corruption and world domination that is playing out against the snowy white Steppes.
“It has the feeling of good old Saturday morning cartoons with fun characters and action. A refreshing new book for the age range, there aren't many good science fiction books for kids that come close to this kind of theme, but any kids who loved Big hero 6 will immediately enjoy this book, given the hero has a pet robotic dragon and rides a hover board!” - Waterstones, Sheffield.

Nat is perched on the prow of the Junko as it glides up the Thames one cold, drizzly night. London is to be her home for the next year, and it looks to be a strange and uninviting place after the bright lights and fast pace of Hong Kong. Little does Nat know that she and her dragon-robot, Fizz, are at the start of their second adventure, one that will see them become lost in the high-tech world of one of her father's games and seeking out a long-lost Chinese sword. Secrets that have been kept hidden for decades will be revealed and Nat will learn some startling things about her family, her future, and herself...The second installment of the Nat Walker trilogy.
