Sue Lienau - Ossian, IA

Sue and her husband own and operate a bar/restaurant (Bambino's) in Ossian. She is a self taught illustrator and writer.  Sue & Ron (her hubby) have 4 boys, and 6 grandchildren. While writing Ruford she asked the oldest grandchild for a name for the eaglet, he's the one who named Ruford. Other characters in her books took on names and personalities of local residents in Ossian that frequent Bambino's or one of the other grandchildren have given them a name. This children's story and sequel tells the story of an eaglet from Decorah, IA as he grows up, meets friends and explores. If you stop at Bambino's, and bring your copy of the book, Sue will sign it (if you ask nicely).

I am the author and illustrator for the Lucy Loo the Rescue series. As a future educator and rescue dog mom, I create stories that can connect with kids to face whatever challenges are in front of them. I am finishing my last year of college, I work to connect with students who have fears that they would like to face. I hope to continue to create books that allow Lucy to show kids that it is okay.
