Sue Tidwell is the multi-award-winning author of Cries of the Savanna, winner of a Reader's Favorite Gold Medal, the Professional Outdoor Media Association's Pinnacle Award, a Kindle Book Review non-fiction semifinalist and The Wildlife Society's 2022 Conservation Education Award.

An outdoorsy adventuresome type, Sue has long enjoyed capturing her escapades on paper exclusively for the eyes of family and friends. her Tanzanian safari, however, lit a fire in her gut, compelling her to share her adventure and journey of awareness with the world. Cries of the Savanna is a result of that passion. When not at the keyboard, Sue can be found pining for Africa, atop a paddle board, enjoying her grandchildren's antics, or engaged in the latest outdoor excursion with her husband Rick.
