Quotations:
“I first became interested in writing short stories when I was in the sixth grade. At the time, Life magazine always had an unusual picture on the last page. The class had to write a story about it. Being a thrill-seeker even at a young age, I loved to write adventurous and perhaps far-fetched stories. I also wrote little blurbs with cartoon characters and humorous ‘mad-libs.’”
“I have two teenage sons who also inspired some of my writing. With my vivid memory of my own childhood, I can easily relate to the young characters I write about. The free-spirited little kid in me is very active, and writing for this age group keeps me in tune with the ever-changing world.”
“I love to travel and, whenever I take a trip, I try to do something unusual - trying to test my limits. Then I incorporate my escapades into my stories. My husband never knows where I’ll drag him. Although he will protest, he will enjoy the experience.”
Jeanie Figler married a body shop instructor at a vocational school, Ray Figler, on August 10, 1975. They have two children: Michael and Daniel.
