Inspired by her dad - the real-life heart behind Captain Steve - Jen has launched a new creative chapter with two sophisticated children's book series set in two beloved corners of Southern Alabama. Relocating to this beautiful, thriving ecosystem reignited a spark she didn't know she was missing.Though new to publishing, Jen is no stranger to storytelling. Throughout her life, she has loved animals of every kind and was known for rescuing any critter in need. Her parents nurtured her passion for the outdoors, and moving to the Eastern Shore became the unexpected beginning of something extraordinary.A chance encounter with a stranger in an airport who declared her name "perfect for an author," a dear friend encouraging her to write about her dad shortly after losing him to a brief but fierce battle with cancer, and a quiet epiphany on a boardwalk deep in a cypress swamp all wove together into one calling:bringing Captain Steve's adventures to life.Through these stories, Jen honors her father, celebrates the natural world, and invites young readers to explore the magic, mystery, and wildlife of the Delta and beyond.
