Susan K. Moore

Artist, Silk Painter and Author

Susan was diagnosed with stage three high grade serous ovarian cancer in December 2024. There is no cure. 

After one cycle of chemo in February 2025, she refused further chemo as too toxic and has researched a more holistic approach to treatment. Treating herself as a human guinea pig, she records her failures and successes, her diet, supplements and protocol.

OVARIAN CANCER AWARENESS. 

Susan is sharing her news in the hope that others may recognise one of the early signs of ovarian cancer. In November 2024 she was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer but this could have been discovered earlier.

Ovarian cancer is a 'silent' disease, not usually detected until stage three or four. There is no cure. Chemotherapy kills cancer cells, but not the stem cells, so it will return after treatment. There is a section on this website: Susan's Cancer Journey Notes, which follows her progression, failures and successes, research and alternative ways of treating cancer. 

Susan hopes her book Enchanted Castle will be a lasting legacy to children's charities. 

Awarded 'BEST CHILDREN'S BOOK OF THE YEAR' award. Read in schools and loved by both children and adults. Suitable for ages 8 - 80+. Published and printed by Amazon Books. £7.95. 

Mystical, medieval thriller. Christopher makes a wish while standing in the ruin of Fillongley Castle. 

He is captured and taken to Kenilworth Castle with an army of soldiers and set to work. 

1266 is a horrible time, with civil war against King Henry III, fighting and famine. 

His sister, Andrea, has to find a way to rescue him, with the help of Grumple (who says he is a wizard). She has to find the Witch of Crackley Woods in her quest to save her brother.  

Paperback, 176 pages.  Illustrated (with drawings you can colour in). 

Enchanted Castle succeeds brilliantly in weaving fact with fantasy, making history come to life.

  • SUSAN MOORE: "I retired from running my own business and now spend my time writing and painting. I  most enjoy painting portraits of people, musicians and animals. My style and technique have developed over years of training and experience. I have illustrated several books, the footpath 'walk' leaflets for North Warwickshire Council, won Art and Literary awards, and exhibited widely in Coventry, Warwickshire, and at the Mall Gallery in London. One of my aims is to encourage 'new' artists and promote 'art' in Coventry and Warwickshire. I am Chairman of CASE (Coventry Art Societies Exhibition), and CWSA (Coventry & Warwickshire Society of Artists)."
