Hi! I'm Susan Brownrigg.

I write historical adventures for children aged 8 to 12.

My Gracie Fairshaw series was described as "one of the best children’s mystery series currently on the shelves" by Pam Norfolk, Lancashire Evening Post.

My debut children's book, Gracie Fairshaw and the Mysterious Guest, is a seaside mystery set in Blackpool.

"Satisfyingly sprinkled with clues to sniff out, this is a timeless, accessible and well-paced mystery with bags of atmosphere." BookTrust

My second book is Kintana and the Captain's Curse - a pirate treasure hunt with magic and lemurs set on the Madagascar island of Nosy Boraha.

My third book - Gracie Fairshaw and the Trouble at the Tower was published on October 7th, 2021. It was longlisted in the Historical Association's Young Quills 2022 awards.

Book Blogger, Lily and the Fae, described the book as "A perfect blend of socio-historical observation, thrilling mystery and holiday cheer."

My fourth book, Gracie Fairshaw and the Missing Reel will be published on March 7th, 2024 and is available for preorder from Waterstones!

I am also a member of Time Tunnellers - a group of five historical children's book authors (myself, Ally Sherrick, Barbara Henderson and Matthew Wainwright) who along with guest authors feature a different history topic and writing challenge each Thursday on our youtube channel and on our blog.
