Joan WeissmanJoAn Weissman was a teacher for many years. She loves to write, and she would often write stories for the elementary students in her ESL classes. The part that was the most fun was when she made an oversize book for all to see-using a whole lot of paer! The vocabulary was the important learning part, and illustrations tied in the vocabulary. The comments and questions that the children asked were her reward and her fulfilment.

At home, JoAn was a dedicated bread maker. When her children were small, she started telling them the story that would one day become Jam Spots-which she finished years later for her grandchildren. JoAn has had rich and rewarding adventures over the years. Though her sports life may be curtailed by a knee replacement and a broken femur, she still has a lot to do before she hangs up her spurs. JoAn loves to draw and paint, do word games such as Spelling Bee and Crosswords, make quilts, and work out in her very small home gym.

JoAn lives in a small French ville with her beloved husband. Their wonderful children have flown the coop, but they don't have an empty nest thanks to their charming dog, PoppySou. Read More Read Less
