Jamie Frank-O'Connell lives in South Carolina near Charleston with her husband, daughter, son, and two dogs. She is a middle school counselor by day and indie author by early morning, night, weekend, and pretty much any other unclaimed time-slot. Jamie began writing children's stories in 2012, and quickly found a niche she wanted to fill connecting her professional counseling journey with her love of literature & yoga. Writing inspirational books to be used for bibliotherapy fueled a passion for authoring books with therapeutic themes. Jamie aims explicitly to reach children and families in non-traditional or transitioning situations. She promotes peace by connecting through kindness and teaching healthy coping skills.
