Jean Brashear is a bestselling American author, well-known for producing several dozen novels in the romance genre. Born in Texas, Brashear leads a busy life as a successful author after deciding to take a leap of faith and try her hand at writing at the age of forty-five. With no prior experience or training, she embarked on a journey that would change her life, leading her to write over fifty novels and become a finalist for the prestigious RITA award five times. Brashear is a strong advocate for pursuing one's dreams without delay and is known for her inspiring story of success in the face of adversity.
Brashear's writing career began with a letter to Rod Stewart, which resulted in a Cinderella-themed 16th birthday for her daughter. This act of kindness sparked her interest in writing, and she has since become a prolific author, producing over fifty novels. Brashear's stories are known for their "feel-good romance" and her ability to create quirky small towns that are "a special place for hearts that need healing." Her work reflects her belief in the power of love and her commitment to spreading faith in the goodness inside us all. Brashear's stories have received critical acclaim from notable authors such as Debbie Macomber, who has praised Brashear's "distinctive storytelling voice" and "warmth and emotional truth."
