Vital Organs

Suzie Edge trained as a molecular cell biologist before moving to clinical medicine, to spend more time talking to people, rather than just bugs in test tubes. She went on to work as a junior doctor in a variety of medical specialties including infectious diseases, haematology, and trauma and orthopaedic surgery. She recently completed an MLitt in Modern History to feed her fascination for the history of the human body and the history of medicine. 

Always on the lookout for gory historical details, Suzie loves telling stories of how we have treated our human bodies in life and in death. 

Suzie has a black belt and is a trainee instructor in the martial art of Sooyang Do. She lives in a wee cottage in the Highlands of Scotland with her husband, their two teenage daughters and their dog, Scout. 

Her first book, Mortal Monarchs, was published by Wildfire in September 2022.
