A scientist by training with a background in marine biology, microbiology, and immunology, she now spends her days as an author and champion for her children. She draws from her interests in history, science, the outdoors, and her family for inspiration.Awestruck by the historical romance genre years ago, she dove deep into mystical Scottish medieval stories and thus was born her “hundred” trilogy. She has expanded her novel adventures to include contemporary romance and women's fiction. Two of her books won InD'tale 2020 RONE awards. A Hundred Breaths was a runner-up in its category and Will Rise from Ashes took first place in its category. A Hundred Lies won first place in NN Light's 2020 Book Awards (Historical Romance category).A nature enthusiast who adores the national parks, Jean also writes for family-oriented travel magazines and websites. When not writing, she enjoys tending to her flower gardens, tackling the biggest mountains in New England with her husband, and playing with her children, while taking snapshots of the world around her and daydreaming about the next story.Read more about this authorRead less about this author
