Welcome
Welcome to my website.
My name is Suzie Grogan and I am a professional writer and researcher. With one published title on my CV I have been commissioned to write a further two social history books which will examine the emotional upheaval caused by the First World War and the ways in which we deal with war trauma and how we have chosen to remember that period of our history. I also offer a proofreading service and can provide copy for web sites and newsletters and provide advice on using social media. I hope this site will help you find out a little more about me and introduce you to some of my published and to-be published writing.

Current Projects
Shell-Shocked Britain will be published in 2014 by Pen and Sword Books.
The book will look at the effect of the First World War on the mental health of the troops and the families they came home to. It will also examine how attitudes to psychological trauma changed and the impact of the trauma on subsequent generations. Stop press! I have just been commissioned to write a second book , to be published in 2015. With a working title of 'Monuments and Memories: the stories behind the the art of the First World War'. it will look at the ways we have chosen to remember the war in sculpture, on monuments and in other media and how it has affected our view of the war into the 21st century. Published Work
Dandelions & Bad Hair Days... is an anthology of poetry and prose based on the 'mental health monthly' guest posts I host on my blog. Share the experiences of those that have lived through mental and emotional ill-health or who have lived with someone dealing with anxiety and depression. Read what the experts in the field think is important.

Lavender Larceny is a crime novel where the detectives are over eighty and partial to a Tia Maria or three, but can still give Sherlock a run for his money.
I hope to try self-publishing with this novel, although I wouldn't object if M.C. Beaton's publisher gave me a call... My blogNo wriggling out of writing
