    Sue Johnson is a poet, novelist and playwright. Her work is inspired by the Worcestershire countryside near her home, eavesdropping in local cafes and reading a wide range of novels and fairy-tales. When she's not writing she enjoys cooking, walking, yoga and visiting National Trust houses.

    Sue's short stories have been published in most UK women's magazines, 'Allas' in Sweden and 'That's Life - Australia.' She also writes books aimed at helping other writers.

    She published two novels with Indigo Dreams Publishing - 'Fable's Fortune' and 'The Yellow Silk Dress.' Her third and fourth novels 'Fortune's Promise' and 'Apple Orchard, Lemon Grove' were originally published by Endeavour Media and are now republished by Toadstone Press. Her fifth novel 'The Girl With Amber Eyes' began life as a My Weekly Pocket Novel.

    'Apple Orchard, Lemon Grove', 'Fortune's Promise' and 'The Girl With Amber Eyes' are also available in audiobook format. They are narrated by Martin Hussingtree (narratorsuk@gmail.com)

    Sue has published three joint poetry collections with poet and environmentalist Bob Woodroofe of Greenwood Press (www.greenwoodpress.co.uk)

    Sue is very fortunate to have lexical-gustatory synaesthesia - which means she interprets some words and names as a specific taste. Synaesthesia in some form affects 4% of the population and is a gift, not a problem. Sue has created a short guide to the condition 'Synaesthesia - tasting words in a rainbow of sound' which she hopes will help others.

    Sue is a Writing Magazine Creative Writing Tutor and also runs her own brand of writing classes. Further details of her work can be found at www.writers-toolkit.co.uk

5.0 out of 5 stars An intelligent, well thought out resource for both new and established writers.
Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2014
'Unlock Your Creativity' is a great, fun book full of adventure for any budding or more established writer who wishes to take up its challenges. Easy to follow and kind on the soul, 'Unlock Your Creativity''s beauty is that it does not presume to tell us how to write, but rather it offers us lots of smart, interesting activities to help us find our creative Mojo and get our artistic juices flowing. I can see the book becoming an indispensable aid in my own future writing endeavors. A thoroughly recommended buy.

4.0 out of 5 stars a 21-day sensory workout for writers

Carys Llewellyn : writer and book reviewer
I like Sue Johnson's writing and she has plenty of background to draw on being a home study tutor with Writer's News. Now she’s joined forces with Val Andrews, her co-founder of the Unlock Your Creativity Workshops, so the style is one of sheer encouragement turning this book into a structured 21-day course in itself and ‘crammed with writing exercises’. The spiritual approach to writing is gaining in popularity and as one reader puts it: “I loved this. It is sheer indulgence in the best possible way. Absolutely crammed with inspirational ideas and lots of great exercises which I really enjoyed, as well as finding them very useful. I like the style, reader friendly, clear, well structured and empowering. I also found many of the exercises new to me which allowed me that ‘eureka’ moment several times. Definitely a book I would read again and again and expect to gain something extra each time.” The real aim of the book is to help keep the writer focussed on sustaining ‘their momentum and work flow when life gets in the way’. Suitable for writers of all levels from beginner to the more experienced who feel they might need a ‘refresher’ workout. Highly recommended.

I was lucky enough to attend an inspirational "Unlock Your Creativity" workshop run by these fantastic authors last year, and when I heard they'd published an accompanying book of further exercises to stoke the creative brain, I just had to have it! Extremely motivating for those starting out on a project, or feeling jaded part-way through, a fabulous work-out to blow out the cobwebs and ignite the creative soul.
