Clear Mind Press
Fiercely independent publishing
Suzanne Visser
Suzanne Visser (1957) began her writing career in the Netherlands. She published through several good publishing houses such as Atlas, Leopold and Bert Bakker.
Her novel De Vismoorden; The Fish Murders, was translated into French, German, and Spanish. Clear Mind Press has now published this successful book in English. Jonathan Smith did the translation.
Visser has lived in Australia since 2002. She now writes in English. The Fish Murders is the first novel we published.
The Elephant's Tooth is a work of non-fiction. Both books came out at about the same time. Visser is a versatile and productive writer.
