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
Spitz 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.
