Jerry Hines

J Hines is retired after working for thirty five years with the St. Paul Public Schools. He resides in White Bear Lake, Minnesota and now works part time in a local school district with Special Education students. He grew up in St. Paul, MN. in a large Catholic family (eight siblings) which inspired him to write and publish his first book THE NINE OF US (a light hearted memoir). Inspired by his three children and three grandchildren and the many children he has worked with over the years, he then went on to write and publish his latest book SILLY AND STINKY STORIES MY GRANDPA TELLS, a humorous collection of real life stories for the juvenile reader. He is currently finishing a re-publication of an earlier juvenile book he wrote, FINDING RAVEN, an adventure fantasy, which he hopes to finish later this year.
