About the author

Susan Preston

<p> The fact I am alive today is a miracle. The surgery for aneurysms resulted in most of my aorta having a very long graft. Three surgeons had called me called a walking time bomb.<br /> But here I am. Well and busy.<br /> I was born in Peebles, a town in the Scottish borders, but moved to Australia in 1975. I live in Perth, Western Australia.</p> <p> I have worked as a shop assistant, double loom weaver, trained as a Psychiatric nurse and worked as an After-care Nursing Sister in an outpatient clinic and in the community.<br /> My last job (before being bitten by the writing bug) was as a certified computer trainer. (Certificate IV in Training and Assessing). The holder of a Microsoft Master qualification in Office 2007, I enjoyed my work in a Registered Training Centre. I also had some private students and wrote manuals for them re-interpreting the jargon filled, missing steps manuals that left beginners wanting to quit. I loved the &#39;aha&#39; moment when it clicked for a student, especially mature aged learners.<br /> So far two books in this series have been published. Hold the Faith, and book 2, Grow in Grace.</p> <p> <br /> After the death of my husband, I was unable to concentrate for long, so spent my writing time completing &#39;Geoff&#39;s Last Journeyings&#39;, a record for friends and family my husband&#39;s last year in the battle with Pulmonary Fibrosing. I have also kept up my blogs... Hold the Faith.</p> <p> Now, it is time to start work on the existing first draft of book three in the Apostle John series</p> <p> .<br /> Christian history fascinates me and a Bible Study on the Apostle John inspired me to set this history down.<br /> I am a practising Christian, a Sabbath keeper and member of a very supportive church.</p>
