About Jeanette

Author. Teacher. Baker. Never Bored.

Jeanette Fazzari Jones grew up on the Jersey shore, learning how to cook and craft alongside of her parents and grandparents.  The inspiration for her stories comes from the amazing children in her life, past and present. These days, she lives in Kentucky, works as a teacher, and strives to be the neighborhood mom with the good snacks. Her inability to sit still often finds her baking, gardening, sewing, or playing boardgames with her husband and kids.
