Jean Hoefling

Jean Hoefling is the award-winning author of Ashes Like Bread, a biblical fantasy that won the 2019 Readers’ Favorite Bronze Medal in Christian Fantasy. She’s passionate about reimagining Old Testament stories with emotional depth, portraying biblical characters as fully human—complex, flawed, and luminous. Her novels always feature a love story at their heart. When she’s not writing, Jean enjoys walking through fog, the Texas two-step, and the rich beauty of the Orthodox Church. She also loves hearing from readers.
