Merry Christmas, Susanne O’ Leary!
How would you describe your Christmas in only three words?
Susanne: Rowdy, noisy, fun.
If you could have a relationship with a literary festive character who would it be and why? Susanne: I can only think of one literary festive character and that is Scrooge. I would definitively not want a relationship with him! But put Colin Farrel in my Christmas stocking and you’re talking! I don’t think I have to explain why…
If you had to exist for a week in a Christmas story … which one would it be? Susanne: “A Country Christmas” by Louisa M Alcott. Christmas in Vermont in the nineteenth century would probably be amazing.
Dead or alive literary Christmas lunch: who would you invite, and what would you serve?
Susanne: I’d have Hemingway, George Bernard Shaw, Jane Austen and the Bronte sisters. I’d serve them an old fashioned, traditional Christmas lunch, but then I would have servants, so I could sit and chat to all those amazing authors.
If you had to write a Christmas themed story in your current genre, what would the title be? Susanne: I did and the title is HOT WISHES– A Kerry Christmas. It’s set in the west of Ireland
What do you dislike the most about Christmas? Susanne: The stress and pressure to have everything ready in time. And cooking the traditional Irish Christmas dinner. But once it’s done it’s pretty good, actually.
Favourite Festive Word? Susanne: Jingle Bells!
Susanne O’Leary was in the Christmas chair: writing across several genres including romance & political thrillers.
