This family friend has accomplished what I’ve always wanted to do. This educated queen has researched, Googled, learned from mistakes, enlisted help and finally self-published her first novel! The first book of the trilogy, The House by the Side of the Road, is available now where most books are sold.

Listen to Jean discuss her professional experience with understanding reading and the common learning disorder, Dyslexia. Jean advises on the concept of “reading to learn” and “learning to read,” and how this background fed into the reasoning behind publishing a book at age 67. “If other people can do it, why can’t I?” For three weeks Jean locked herself in a Milwaukee vacation rental to do nothing but walk her dogs and write. Using her local book club to review and her publishing company to edit, Jean created a print-on-demand piece of fiction for $6,000 from the ground up. This now-or-never approach is a motivational message for anyone needing a push to check off a bucket list item.
