Jeanne Glidewell, lives with her husband, Bob, and chubby cat, Dolly, in Bonner Springs, Texas, during the warmer months, and Rockport, Texas, the remainder of the year. Unfortunately, Hurricane Harvey made landfall on August 25, 2017, in Rockport and their waterfront condo was destroyed. But, fortunately, they were able to rent an apartment from their wonderful Rockport friends, Dave and Cindy Colmer, this winter as their home was undergoing reconstruction. Besides writing and fishing, Jeanne enjoys wildlife photography and traveling both here and abroad. This year Jeanne and Bob traveled to Australia and New Zealand with friends, Sheila and Randy Davis, in February, and while Bob fished with friends in Canada, Jeanne and her friend, Janet Wright, enjoyed a Caribbean cruise in May. They look forward to returning to their newly rebuilt south Texas home in October 2018. Jeanne and Bob owned and operated a large RV park in Cheyenne, Wyoming, for twelve years. It was that enjoyable period in her life that inspired her to write a mystery series involving a full-time RVing couple - The Ripple Effect series. As a 2006 pancreas and kidney transplant recipient, Jeanne now volunteers as a mentor for the Gift of Life of KC program, helping future transplant recipients prepare mentally and emotionally for their upcoming transplants. Please consider the possibility of giving the gift of life by opting to be an organ donor. Jeanne is the author of a romance/suspense novel, Soul Survivor, six novels and one novella in her NY Times best-selling Lexie Starr cozy mystery series, and four novels in her Ripple Effect cozy mystery series. She is currently writing Marriage and Mayhem, book seven in the Lexie Starr series, and hopes to have it released in the fall of 2018. Following that, she expects to release Ripple Effect book 5, Ripped Apart, in the early spring of 2019.
