Welcome to Story Playscapes, the Australian luxury Literary House.

Internationally acclaimed, best-selling and award-winning author, Susan L. Marshall is renowned for the breathtaking power, transformation and beauty of the resonant unsaid that lingers across her first era of Metaphysical Minimalism publications. Forged in the rawness of nature and the streets of her origin, Melbourne, Susan’s distinct auteur voice is fuelled by the deep, resonant and magnetic rhythms
of her Portugese and Arabic (Maltese) heritages.

Currently, Susan is leading her work into a highly anticipated new frontier: the official establishment of Metaphysical Minimalism as a subgenre with a signature technique, architecture and style that leads metaphysical literature into lifestyle.

This season, Susan will officially unravel the closely guarded secret style of her work in an upcoming publication, permanently sealing the blueprints of the First Creation Era, while the current architecture and style she has developed, simply continues to progress.

To be part of tracing the style before its official unveiling, explore the First Era collections at the Romantic Spirit Alight Readers’ Garden.
