I now live in a sunny part of Australia after spending many years in developing countries in the South Pacific. My greatest loves are traveling, anywhere and everywhere, meeting crazy characters, and visiting the Australian outback. I hope my books bring history alive and you have fun adventuring with my roguish heroes and feisty heroines.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.suzilove.com","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=1795828726","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/suzi_love_oz\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/suziloveauthor","https:\/\/www.pinterest.com.au\/suziloveoz","https:\/\/x.com\/SuziLove","https:\/\/www.tumblr.com\/blog\/suziloveuniverse"],"url":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/?author=1"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18942","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=18942"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18942\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":37730,"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18942\/revisions\/37730"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=18942"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=18942"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=18942"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
