Jeanne Felfe (pronounced Gee Knee Fell Fee) started writing as a teen, but never seriously until about 2012. She would start writing with stark raving enthusiasm, and then mysteriously stop, sometimes for months or years. It wasn’t until she retired from her ATT Project Management job that she asked herself, “if not now, when?” She launched into the July 2013 Camp NaNoWriMo, the writer bug bite, and this time didn’t let go.

Since then, more than 30 of her short stories and essays have been published in a variety of anthologies. Her personal essay "Amidst the Weeds" was honored with the award by Fiftiness - you can read it here -

Many of her short stories ache to be novels and one, Born in the Sign (publ

I finally pulled it out of the files 10 years later and completed this second chances love story.

My current WIP is actually two completely unique novels, both with connections to Africa.

The first came to me in a flash of an image of a missing teenage boy. When I asked "what happened" the voice of a 14 year old female Somali refugee came in loud and clear. She began telling me her story and I was hooked. I'm about 1/3 of the way through writing "The Things We Do Not Speak Of".

The 2nd was inspired by a trip to Rwanda. While there, the main character's name came to me, but not her story. I had to wait until I'd be home for about 2 weeks before she revealed her story. It begins during the genocide that happened in Rwanda in 1994, but mostly happens in current day. The MC's experience during the genocide are what drives her actions and emotions in current day. I've only just begun this novel with the working title of "Beyond The Mist"(less)

I often have no idea where they come from, but when they appear, they are ready to tell their story - often loudly. And I must write them.(less)

Say Yes to Human-Written Words Always

Welcome to the middle of July (almost). I live smack dab in the middle of the US and it’s been overly hot. The last few days, there’s been a reprieve, so I find myself in my favorite place as I write this—my deck. I haven’t written by the pool—my other favorite spot—this season. The remodel changed the dynamic and my table is now on the opposite side. It feels “off” so I’ll have to ease into it. P
