Bob Tales

Children's author Susan E. Sullivan worked in Nuclear Medicine before teaching high school biology and anatomy for ten years. Her dream of writing became a reality when her husband brought a cat home from a "garbaggy" place and he became part of their family. Bob, a tailless cat, had wanderlust and his true adventures became the source of great stories, ones that Susan crafted into a heartwarming picture book, Bob Tales: Land of the Woody Warbles.A rescue cat with a rough beginning, Bob loved his new family and any time they went away, the cat would set out on a journey to "find" them, sometimes for weeks, until he would finally be located and reunited with Susan and her husband. She would imagine what exploits would befall her sweet tailless cat on his travels and it inspired her to write about them.Susan believes a great book is one that evokes emotion and is full of adventure. She hopes her young readers come away from her story learning to always be kind, and to love all creatures, including humans, just the way they are, and that this stays with them long after the book is closed.When she isn't writing uplifting stories for kids, Susan enjoys being in nature and among animals, particularly when she is beekeeping. She also enjoys golf, paddle boarding, fishing and snow skiing. She lives with her husband in Beaufort, South Carolina with several rescue pets. Bob, who sadly passed away last year, continues to inspire Susan's writing, with a second picture book in the works following her debut, Bob Tales: Land of the Woody Warbles.
