For Writers
On Writing
'...the art of pretence, fabrication and telling lies is
part of my stock-in-trade. To begin with, I must strive to believe
my own lies. It’s important that my characters become so convincing
- so ‘real’ to me - they take on a life of their own...Click

What readers are saying about Second Skin
Great to see Second Skin already making an
appearance on bookstagram!
'Sue Bentley has created a cool world in Second Skin. It will
only get better in future novels.'
4 stars, @booksletusescape
Bookstagrammer
'...They are beings that have both a human and dragon
form. This was really cool and something I've not really seen
before. I really loved the worldbuilding in this book and getting
to know the world, culture, politics and people of Esra. The plot
was action packed and kept me hooked, there was so much going on
and it was interesting to see how each storyline played
out.'
4 stars, Goodreads
reviewer
'Love, love, love this book. 5 stars. The end! This is my
first read from Sue Bentley. It certainly won't be my
last.'
5 stars, Jessica
Belmont, Amazon customer
'There is love, there is war, there are dragons and
tribes, and a girl who wants nothing more than to have the freedom
to choose.'
Haley Renee
@Dramahuman31
'Having long been a fan of shapeshifting characters in all
manner of books, I thought I knew what to expect, but in the
Drakkoni, Sue Bentley has created a far more complex race than your
average shifter. The drama intensifies steadily throughout.'
@maitaylor01 – on Mai’s
Musings
'I love books that focus on character development, and
Aledra’s character arc is one of my new favourites....I would
definitely recommend Second Skin to any fantasy fans, especially
those who love character focused books with unique worlds to
explore.'
4 stars, Goodreads
reviewer
What readers are saying about We Other
Thanks to @paperheartsink for
this wonderful photo of We Other
' "We Other" delivers by the bucket-load! Sue Bentley's
writing is dark and atmospheric, and a hint of menace drips through
it. These are most definitely not the faeries of the Disney or
Flower Fairy variety. They are cruel, and unpredictable, and filled
with a dark malevolence. The descriptions in the book are so vivid
that I became totally immersed in what I was reading, and could
picture the settings as clearly as the back of my own hand.'
5 stars, Curlygirl79, Amazon
reviewer
'I loved the intricate weaving of the faery and mundane worlds,
the depth of the characters, and the honest clarity of the emotions
portrayed. I will very much be looking forward to a continuation of
this story!'
