Jannean is an award-winning children’s author, speaker, and creator of The New Adventures of Frankie & Abby — a series built on a conviction she returns to again and again: children do not need to become like everyone else to have value. Their uniqueness was created with purpose. Her signature brand message, “Oneness, Not Sameness in Christ,” draws directly from Revelation 7:9-10 —a vision of every nation, tribe, and language standing before God together, not in uniformity but in unity.

Jannean brings that truth to a child’s eye level through relatable characters, real-life situations, and stories
that stay light and entertaining without losing their spiritual depth. Every book in the series carries a clear
lesson, inviting children to see themselves in the characters, grow through them, and carry that truth into conversations with others. The children’s book series is anchored in Matthew 19:14, which says “Let the children come to me…” with a mission to teach children the value of God’s word and the comforting relationship found only in Jesus Christ.

Jannean leads with her faith as she has seen the power of faith and believing in her own life. Beyond her children’s work, Jannean writes adult Christian fiction that takes on something harder: the covenant of marriage. Her novel examines how the relationship between husband and wife — as Scripture defines it — mirrors the union of Christ and the Church, and what is at stake when that foundation goes unexamined. Her novel Iris’s Meadow was named a 2023 American Writing Awards Finalist in Adult Christian Fiction.

Her children’s series has earned equal recognition. Tattletale received a 2023 American Writing Awards
Finalist nod, and A Committed Heart took the Religious Category win at the Children’s Book International
Awards in 2026. Her books are preserved in the Indianapolis Public Library Special Collections Room, distributed across more than 18 Indianapolis branch libraries, and available at the Indiana State Library
through the Indiana Young Readers Center. Independent Christian bookstores across Indiana carry her titles.

Jannean is a consistent presence in faith and family spaces. She has appeared on television programs, faith-
based radio, and multiple podcasts, speaking to audiences hungry for stories that tell children the truth about who they are in Christ. She reads regularly to students at schools, daycares, and churches, and her books have been approved for use in youth ministry settings.
She lives and writes under one steady conviction: that every child who finds their way into her stories will walk away knowing they were made on purpose, and that purpose matters.
