Sue and Hugh were married in 1968 and have four children and two grandchildren. They worship at the RC Cathedral in Shrewsbury where Hugh is an eucharistic minister and both run a parish house group. They also belong to the ecumenical Maranatha Community.

In the 1990s they were inspired by the Catholic Charismatic Renewal movement, and subsequently Sue has consistently listened to (and written down) the Lord’s promptings, resulting in the ever present truths contained in ‘Listen Carefully to Me’.

For the last several years Sue has written at least a poem every day – these often coming in the twinkling of an eye – and a selection of these were published in her first book ‘In Short’, a collection of short, rich, intimate Christian poems.
