Interview with Children's Author and Sailor Susea Spray

In this interview Tracy sits down with Susea Spray to discuss her adventures as a sailor, and how seeing the world helped inspire her writing.

About the Author:

Susea has always written in one form or another. A decade ago, she and her husband commenced on an around-the-world sailing odyssey. Their travels were recorded on their sailing blog, https://www.gratisaustralis.com.

Over the decades, Susea had always desired to enter the world of writing for the young. As she recorded the sailing journey, notes and ideas for children’s picture books were taking form. At long last she had found her passion and a voice - the stories were bursting at the seams!

Susea was able to share her love of lyrical language, sailing, and sea with young and old through the eyes of a Big Blue Boat and her Captain. Realistic sailing stories for the young, particularly girls, were born.

A Big Blue Boat, her first book, was launched in March 2022. A 2022 Literary Titan silver book award winner, 2022 book finalist in the 2022 Page Turner Awards, placing in the top 20 of the Indie Children's Fall 2021 Book Cover Award, and a 2021 Page Turner Awards writing finalist, it is a cumulative story about a boat, a girl and the rollicking frolicking sea.
