Why This Book

I wrote Jillian Bear and the Grandpa Scare for my children—so they could feel a connection to the sister they never had the chance to meet. It’s my way of keeping her spirit alive in their world, letting her love reach across the years and touch their hearts.

If you believe in the metaphysical, I like to think she had a hand in sending them my way. And if you don’t, well… maybe stories like this are how love still finds its voice
