Charitys to benefit from children's hunt for killer
05/07/09By Sue Birch
Sue Birch is donating half of the royalties from her newly published children's thriller "Dead Puzzling" to the National Autistic Society. When her eldest son Michael was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, an autistic condition, the NAS supported him at college and socially which meant that he was able to lead a normal life. Now Sue and Michael want to use sales of the book to show their gratitude to the charity. "Dead Puzzling" has been receiving rave reviews on Amazon with Olivia 9 from the UK saying, "I loved this book because it was a really thrilling story with lots of cliff hangers. I was trying to solve the mystery all the way through. My favourite character was Oliver. I read this book in one I couldn't put it down and just had to get to the end. This is just my type of book." Oliver, one of the characters in the story, has Asperger's Syndrome and many of his antics are based on the Michael's exploits when he was younger. "But I don't ever remember him tracking down a killer!" says Sue.
