This Person is Not That Person Susan Mccreery

Who are we when we are with someone else?

The characters in This Person Is Not That Person include mismatched flatmates, long-married couples, and mothers and daughters - all dealing with the fallout, fractures and misunderstandings of human relationships. They are ordinary people - flawed, slightly off-kilter - trying to work out what's real.

Susan McCreery lives in Thirroul on the NSW south coast, an ideal location for an avid ocean swimmer. She has worked as a nursing assistant; Luna Park game stall attendant; waiter; EFL teacher and olive picker in Greece; youth hostel manager; and literacy tutor. For the past 20 years she has worked as a proofreader/copy editor. Her two previous books are Waiting for the Southerly (2012) and Loopholes (2016). She is working on her first novel.
