Before, After, and Somebody In Between

Jeannine Garsee began writing even before she learned to read, drawing pictures in sequence until they told a story. Once she learned to write, she added captions; she eventually gave up drawing when she received a typewriter for her thirteenth birthday.

An avid people watcher, Garsee says she gets her ideas everywhere. About her writing, she says, “Everything and everyone around me has the potential to become part of the story.”

Her work as a nurse gave her much of the inspiration for Martha’s character. She says she often deals with people in desperate situations, and wonders what chance their children have of ever leading happy, productive lives. She lives outside of Cleveland, Ohio, with her husband, two teenagers, and a fifteen-year-old tabby cat named Max.
