Jean Baxter

Jean Baxter grew up in a small town in Wisconsin. She started writing with her friends in junior high, passing the same story back and forth, each one adding to it. Getting a short story published in a magazine gave her encouragement to try something more challenging. She white-knuckled through raising two kids as a divorced mom and became a registered nurse to support them. Writing took the back burner. Those teen years were fraught with angst and drama. It’s there she found her niche-young adult- and she wrote a book. With a little nudge from her writing group, she started sending it out. Now she is a published author! Salvageable is her debut novel. The sequel, Unfathomable, came next and her latest novel is That Forgiveness Thing, a stand-alone book. Jean has four grandchildren, a couple of cats and a yard full of flowers. She loves to travel, walk, bike and golf. She’s a member of SCBWI-Wisconsin, Wisconsin Writers Association and Green Bay Area Writers Guild.
