Stacey Faubion is a native Hoosier living in the picturesque town of Bargersville, Indiana, where she shares her life with her favorite person in the whole wide world (aka her husband) and lovable pug, Boomer. She draws inspiration for the heartwarming and hilarious Violet Jenkins series from students who touched her life as a middle school teacher as well as growing up in a large family with over forty cousins and one special aunt in particular. When Stacey is not weaving tales on the page, you can find her in the classroom doing science experiments or at the lake boating with her family which includes her beloved parents, three witty grown sons (who, once upon a time, were her favorite shenanigators in the classroom), and a beautiful daughter-in-law.
