Susan Ioannou is a Toronto writer whose prose has received the Okanagan Short Story Award and placed high in the CBC Literary Competition Literary Network Short Fiction Contest, Sunday Star Short Story Contest, Other Voices Fiction Competition, and The Larry Turner Award.

"The women portrayed in this book come from different generations but the author depicts each with sensitivity; her characters are captivating, from the inquisitive Lucy to the grumpy Elaine. We come to realize that women are not only mothers, sisters, daughters, and grandmothers, and Ioannou’s portrayal of their complexity pushes home the truth that women are distinct. Her rendering is both tender and tough. These are women with whom we want to sit down and share a cup of tea. And the tea is just fine, Susan Ioannou. Just fine.” - Mary Barnes, Prairie Fire Review of Books.

"Several of the stories by Ioannou were slightly reminiscent of the writing style of Lucy Maud Montgomery, while other stories reminded me of the British author Barbara Pym. Nine to Ninety, Stories across the generations has something for everyone. A very entertaining and delightful book with stories that will touch your heart.” - Canadian Book Clubs, Book Reviews Forum
