About The Author

Suzanne Bonné is a Long Island native and former Manhattan textile designer with a background in weaving. She spent decades commuting on the Long Island Rail Road, where she developed a love of reading, especially classic children's literature. The inspiration for her debut book emerged during her daily subway rides to the IRT 50th Street station, sparked by the whimsical "Alice" murals along the platform. A longtime admirer of Bull Terriers for their quirky and endearing personalities, Suzanne finally brought her character, Archie, to life, following her retirement. She illustrates her work using traditional colored pencil, embracing the meticulous nature of the medium for its rich and rewarding results. When she is not drawing, Suzanne enjoys writing short stories, hiking Long Island's nature trails, and tending to the flowers in her garden.
