“When women come together to support each other, incredible things happen”
Featuring @SueMcFarlane, our 2nd Author of many responding to our Book Donor Call for #SheReadsSheLeads 2026, an idea sparked during a Mentoring Session.
Sue is the Author of three inspiring books ‘My Words For Living’, ‘Travel Safely Within’ and ‘Words On Stony Ground’ (also an ebook) published by Green Cat Books. After retiring from her own complementary therapies practice of over 20 years, Sue McFarlane has finally found her creative voice and explores many topics within this work. Born in East Yorkshire, now living in Nottinghamshire with her husband and three rescue cats, Sue enjoys rambling in the countryside, exploring nature, cooking and gardening. She enjoys all things related to food, travel and gardens. She encourages us to: “Use all your words kindly.”
Sue told us:
“Each poem you read has a beginning, middle and ending, like a short story. Try reading them out loud and interpret in your own way. This may change along with your mood or energy levels. Go mindfully and I invite you to try them.”
Her Favourite Quote:
“Today is the best day to start your life again”. (How True!)
You can find Sue’s books here: www.green-cat.shop/sue-mcfarlane where you can also order signed copies, and unusually, treat yourself to watch and listen with Sue as she reads from her books – a real treat!
Now in our third year, the need for new books is even greater, now that we include Women’s Refuges in our mission to support women in need.
Women Authors and Publishers, we continue to gratefully accept your donation of new editions of your own books, inscribed with an encouraging message to your new reader in return for promoting you and your book in our campaign.
