About Us

Joleen Michellie was born and raised in California. She started writing at a young age, but began writing Children's Books as a single mom of two in Orange County CA. She moved to Northern Idaho in 2012, where she met her husband. She resides there still with her family today in a rural community near the woods. Many of her books were directly inspired by her young children at the time, while other inspiration stems from her own childhood.
