Susan Colleen Browne

"Browne has done wonderful work in capturing Ireland's language, socioeconomic picture and current cultural milieu from pubs to puddings."

--The Bellingham Herald

Susan Colleen Browne weaves her love of Ireland and her passion for country life into her Village of Ballydara series--warmhearted novels and stories of love, friendship and family, set in a sleepy village in County Galway. Writing and gardening from her country place in the foothills of the Pacific Northwest, USA, Susan is also the author of the Little Farm in the Foothills backyard farming series: Book 1, an award-winning memoir, "Little Farm in the Foothills," is a lighthearted account of her first, tumultuous year of country life. Her new sequel, Book 2 of the series, is "Little Farm Homegrown: A Memoir of Food-Growing, Midlife, and Self-Reliance on a Small Homestead." Both are true-life tales for gardeners, nature lovers, and dreamers of all ages!

She's a big fan of novelists Liane Moriarty, Marian Keyes, JoJo Moyes, and Jenny Colgan, who write about love and family relationships with such heart and verve!
