Since November 2009Zoe Barnes Passes Away
December 16th, 2009 by LeahBEST-selling “chick lit” author Zoe Barnes took her own life while on holiday on the Isle of Man, it was revealed yesterday.
The popular author, whose real name was Susan Morgan but wrote under the pen names of Zoe Barnes and Sue Dyson, died after taking an overdose of prescription drugs.
She was found dead in her room at the Falcon’s Nest Hotel in Port Erin at the end of October. A pioneer of the chick lit genre, which addresses the issues of modern women, often humorously, Ms Barnes, aged 52, wrote 45 novels.
They included Wedding Belles, Just Married and Return To Sender. An inquest was told the author, from Cheltenham, suffered severe pain from auto-immune disorders which led to depression.
That is so sad and our thoughts and prayers go out to Zoe’s family. May she Rest in Peace.

Oh my gosh that’s horrible
I’m so sad to hear about Sue/Zoe’s death. She was a wonderful, warm writer and I loved her work. She will be very much missed and remembered with a great deal of love and affection.
This is very sad news.
