Hello & Welcome to Jeanette's Blog

Hi everyone,

My name is Jeanette Cooper and I am the author of Wall of Color, Conquered Heart, When Justice is Served, Impending Danger, Desperate Choices, and Violent Visions of Murder. .

A few years after I graduated from high school, married, and gave birth to my son, I eventually decided my brain was deteriorating from lack of food (new knowledge), and yearning for structured learning, I enrolled at the local Junior College, never planning to do more than achieve my Associate of Arts Degree. However, it turned out I hadn't had enough of the classroom yet, and enrolled in the local univeristy to start on my Bachelor's Degree in Education.

Upon graduation, I took a job teaching elementary school, and still having a keen desire to keep learning, I enrolled again at the University to attain my Master's in Elementary Reading Instruction. I taught elementary school for twenty-six years, and then retired.

When the brain sits idle, boredom seeps in like a disease. I discovered retirement wasn't all it was made out to be. I needed something to give me worthwhile purpose in my life.

I learned at an early age the wonder of words on paper, and having always enjoyed writing, I took it up again full time. Needless to say, writing has been a lifesaver for me in my later years. Now, at this time of my life--outside of spending time with my family--nothing gives me greater joy or pleasure than writing.

May anyone reading this who thinks life has become a bore put those thoughts on paper and see where the paper and pen (or computer and word processor) will lead you.
