About Me
MY WORK
Children’s books became important to me when I first became a parent. Story-telling is important an activity for parents to connect with their children and help develop their imagination.
My children used to make me read “The Three Billy Goats Gruff” over and over again. I used to make the noises of the trolls or of the goats clop, clop, clopping across the bridge.
When my grandchildren became old enough, we would play a game in which one person would start a story, and then hand off to the next person so that everyone contributed to the story to create a wonderful, silly tale that everyone enjoyed.
Reading to children at schools and libraries still energizes me to this day. Being a children’s book author helps to keep me young.

Jennie’s Journey
I am a traveler and have explored many parts of the world, including England, where I studied art and learned about different cultures, continental Europe, Mexico, and Costa Rica. I am passionate about helping people, especially kids and farmworkers, and I work hard to make sure their voices are heard. I treasure the simple moments spent with my grandchildren, sharing stories and wisdom, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
I will be cruising to Mexico soon and am looking forward to a relaxing trip, with time to finish reading “The Newcomer,” by Mary Kay Andrews, and maybe start “The Seamstress of New Orleans,” by Diane C. McPhail. What do you think I’ll encounter on my cruise? Whales? Sea turtles? In Puerto Vallarta, hopefully, I will get to see some monkeys. Don’t forget to pick up some reading for your summer adventure, at the library or wherever you buy books
