Jeanne grew up in New Jersey, graduated from the University of Michigan, and, after twenty-nine inches of snow in twenty-four hours, moved to the Florida Keys, where she waited tables, drove the bookmobile, and fished. When her son turned six, they headed north. She earned her M.Ed. at the University of Florida and thereafter taught elementary school. Certified also in Exceptional Student Education and ESOL, she served students with varying abilities, backgrounds, and dreams. She lives with two retired greyhounds and still teaches, from time to time.
