Susan Maxwell
Susan Maxwell is an award-winning independent author and scholar who writes literary / slipstream / irreal / speculative fiction for adults and fantasy literature also suitable for younger readers. Her first published novel Good Red Herring (Little Island) was included in the Irish Times Best books of 2014 for children and young adults. Her short story 'Necrologue' (reprinted in Fluctuation in Disorder) was the title story of the 2004 Lambda Award-winning anthology edited by H. Sandler.
"The essence of the irreal is to create a reality that convinces the writer (and, with luck, the reader) of a world in which unexplained absurdities will happen, and will not be resolved."
