Suzy Fincham-Gray is a veterinarian and an author. Her first book, My Patients and Other Animals: A Veterinarian’s Stories of Love, Loss and Hope will be released by Spiegel and Grau on April 10, 2018.
Suzy grew up on the English-Welsh border and, although she has lived in the States for almost twenty years, her accent is still strong enough for her to be recognized as a Brit most of the time. She is a board-certified small animal internal medicine specialist: She takes care of dogs and cats who’ve been referred by a family veterinarian for the treatment of complex medical problems. If you’d like to learn more about what specialist veterinarians do you can visit www.vetspecialists.com.
Outside of the hospital, Suzy has earned an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Riverside, Palm Desert. Her writing explores the role veterinarians play in the human-animal bond and in the narrative of caring for those we love when they are sick.
When she’s not writing or caring for patients she can be found spending time with her human and animal family, including three cats, a dog, a husband and a daughter. Naturally, the animals outnumber the people.
