ⓘ About Jean Brashear
Jean Brashear is an American novelist responsible for producing several dozen novels in the romance genre. +Biography Jean Brashear started writing at the age of forty-five. She took a decision to pursue a dream that many aspiring authors in her place and her age have chosen to simply give up on, and the gamble paid off. Jean was always an avid reader. It was an issue that always plagued her household. Her children understood from a young age that Jean couldn’t be bothered to interfere in every unimportant occurrence they encountered whenever she had a good book open before her. And her habit of disappearing into her stories became a bit of an issue, with her children eventually figuring out the best way to draw Jean out of her many book-driven trances.
