Yet for its little-known location, Seldovia has inspired four books of her children's book series The Misadventures of Seldovia Sam. An author, artist, and historian, Susan now lives in Idaho. Illustrator Amy Meissner lives and works in Anchorage, where she shares her studio with a pair of orange cats, her yard with a cow moose, and her berries with an elusive bear. She illustrated several children's books, including Ollie Jolly, Rodeo Clown.
