Green-Gehbauer, Jodie: - Jodie grew up in a small town in Southeastern Kentucky to a coal miner and a nurse. She moved to Indiana in her early twenties, and got her associate's degree in science from the University of Phoenix. Her joy in writing came at an early age, around eleven or twelve. Now at 50, she has finally decided to share her writings with others. Her only hope is that everyone enjoys reading them as much as she enjoys writing them.
