Meet Jeanne Apeland - Author

Jeanne was born and raised in a little country town called Clarendon, NY.  Her family home was nestled on over 85 acres of land, backing up to her Grandparents' dairy farm.  Being one of the oldest of over 45 grandchildren, Jeanne experienced farm living regularly as a child.  Her books reflect her country life, and the many lessons learned from her grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles, and even the farm animals.  She considers herself fortunate that she and her two siblings, and all of those cousins were able to experience country living at its best.

Throughout her life Jeanne has always enjoyed writing stories and poetry.  She founded and operated a preschool in western NY for many years and loved telling stories to the children. However, with working to make ends meet, and her strong commitment to raising her own children, she never found the time to put any of her stories out to the world.....until now.  At age 68, with her children fully grown and retirement just around the corner, Jeanne can spend time on her passion......creating stories for children.

Jeanne is married and lives in Central Florida.  She has four grown children, one beautiful granddaughter, a new grandson on the way, two adorable grandcats, and a couple of grandfish!
