Jean is an RN with an MSN from the University of Cincinnati. She is a writer who has just
completed a novel entitled "Journey Toward Healing." She has a chapter in an anthology entitled "Many Roads Taken" (2012) published by Losantiville Society of Writers. Jean does freelance writing and has been published in several magazines including "Diabetes Health" and "Today's Christian in the Mature Years." She is a staff writer with two sister publications, "Living Well 60plus" and "Health & Wellness" Magazine.
Jean's professional life centered around her career in nursing until her retirement, at which time she took a course online, the Craft of Magazine Writing. Here she met her mentor of many years, Eva Shaw, a prolific writer and a favorite instructor to many on the online ED2GO.com series, in creative writing. Jean also began taking courses at UC's "Communiversity" from Wendy Beckman. Jean soon became a member of a new writer's support group headed by Wendy Beckman, a prolific writer herself whose ninth book, "The 8 Wonders of Cincinnati" was published by The History Press/Arcadia (2017).
Jean's labor of love over the course of the next six years was her novel, "Journey Toward Healing," which is being published on Amazon. Currently, Jean is writing a sequel to this work, entitled "Journey Toward Freedom."
