A native Californian transplanted to the
Midwest, I was first published in short stories more than
thirty years ago. My first book, a Silhouette YA titled
"Playing House," was published in 1986, followed by
six horror novels between 1987 and 1992. I have adapted one of
my novels, "Wild Card," to a screenplay. Though out
of print, these books are still available through Amazon.com
under the name Jean Simon. After
more than a decade of devoting myself to freelance work, and
as a news correspondent for the Sioux City Journal, I've
turned to the tough, time-consuming, frustrating and
ultimately rewarding world of publishing. Shapato Publishing
was founded in 2008 and is going strong. In addition to all of
this, I'm a member of the Arts on Grand Writers' Group, which
meets twice a month. I live in Iowa with my husband, Grover
Reiser. Grover and I share our home with a Kirby, a Westie
mix, a Samoyed named Dakota and a calico cat named French Fry,
all of which were adopted, either from a shelter or from
people who could no longer care for them.
