Jillian Fanning is a former elementary education teacher. While teaching, Jillian saw firsthand the joy children’s books brought to her students, and she loved sharing in that excitement with them. Now, as a stay-at-home mom, Jillian writes whenever she can. She wants to continue to bring that excitement to children by writing books of her own.

Jillian is an avid runner. Although her daughter is her muse, many of the details of her books come while out on the quiet of a run.

Jillian resides in Wyoming with her husband, Bret and their daughter, Palmer.
