April Nunn Coker

April Nunn Coker began writing at the age of 10, but it was many years until she saw her dream of having a book published come true. She spent 30 years in public schools as a teacher and administrator while raising her two children along with her husband and cheerleader Jimmy, whom she recently lost to Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

Her first book, a tongue-in-cheek guide to saving money at Christmas, was written in response to an especially hectic holiday season where she exhausted herself spending and doing way too much. Her next three books, inspired by her husband's life as a zookeeper, are romantic suspense novels centered around the lives of several zookeepers who find themselves in danger from animals and people. Soon to be released is a companion children's book based upon one of the characters in the novels.

April is also a freelance writer who has written articles for professional education journals, teacher magazines, and a society magazine. This busy lady resides in East Texas with her Boston terrier Stella and spends her time writing, glamping, traveling, tutoring, thrift shopping, and spending time with her three grandchildren.
