Send us Fan Mail Jeannie Blackmer is the author of three books on the topics of confident mothering, celebrating the roll of “boy mom” and stories of perseverance for women.

In this interview, Jeannie talks about how her dream to write complemented her desire to work from home once she had young children. She shares some of the early baby steps that helped get her feet wet in the writing/publishing world, and what you need to know if you want to self-publish a book, like she did with Talking to Jesus.
