Sue Reid Sexton lives in Glasgow, Scotland, UK. Mavis's Shoe was the first new Scottish novel to be published simultaneously in Braille and in print. It was Waterstones ‘Book of the Month’, in Waterstones ‘Books of the Year’ list 2011, a Books from Scotland ‘Book of the Month’, and was included in 'Books to Treasure’ Book Week Scotland 2013.
Rue End Street is the sequel, as meticulously researched as Mavis's Shoe, and takes us the length of the Clyde Estuary and all the dangers and turmoil of the port of Greenock, known during WW2 as 'Port Number One'.
Her advice to new writers is: 'Do it and keep doing it until you know what you're doing. Do it everybody else's way but finish with doing it your own. Learn to run. I mean real physical running as in jogging, if you can. I ran before I wrote seriously. What I learnt about running taught me a lot about how to write. Writing anything good, especially long stuff like novels, requires massive stamina, awareness of your environment and awareness of yourself.'
