edit data

Born and raised in northwest Alabama, Jannette Spann comes from a large family and is the tenth of eleven children. Married for over fifty-years, she is a mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Her love of writing began when she was in the fourth grade, and she loves to write about family, love and loyalty.

An avid traveler, the beach is her favorite vacation spot. When home, her idea of relaxation is sitting on the front porch swing while drinking a cold glass of sweet tea. In winter, she’s willing to trade the swing for a rocker beside the fireplace and her tea for a cup of hot coffee.
