Book Success For Thetford First Time Author Sue Brady has lived in Thetford for over 30 years with her husband and has enjoyed a variety of jobs from being on the pick and mix counter at Woolwoths as a teen to being Mum to her children and now working in recruitment. A redundancy 3 years ago gave Sue the time to finish her first novel ‘Precious Gems’. A love of books from an early age saw Sue going to the local library on a Saturday morning to choose the 4 books she could take out that week! She said, “My library card was like a golden ticket to me and even as a young girl I would dream of seeing my book on the shelves one day”. Writing for fun has always been something that Sue has enjoyed and she has even written a poem in memory of a beloved co-worker who sadly passed away. Getting the email offer from Pegasus to publish Precious Gems was a day Sue says she won’t forget. Getting such positive feedback from people who have already read the book helps her to overcome any self doubt she has about her abilities as a writer. She says that holding that first copy of her book in her hands was a marvellous feeling, “One I will never forget”.

Precious Gems follows two lifelong friends through their lives, their marriages, children and grandchildren. It deals with all those joys as well as the sadness of losing friends and loved ones and also the knowledge that at 90 years of age they too will pass away. Once things are back to normal Sue is hoping to hold some book signings where we are sure she will be happy to chat to you about her experiences of working towards being a published author! She is also working on her second novel which she hopes to publish later this year.
