Explores and promotes a Divine Council Worldview
Upholds Biblical values without shying away from realism or sanitizing for a religious audience
Features both male and female protagonists who are a realistic mix of strength and vulnerability, flawed but doing their best

Includes occasionally swoony romantic moments

About Jean
Jean Marie Bauhaus is both a traditionally-published and indie author of seven novels and counting, as well as a number of novellas and short stories. She also writes freelance articles about dogs and cats for a living.
Born and raised in Oklahoma, she currently makes her home in the middle of the woods deep in the Ozark mountains with her husband and best friend of 18 years, a velociraptor in the guise of a German shepherd named Dixie, and a little black meowing fluffball named Olive, along with two box turtles and a flock of chickens. Soon they’re hoping to add goats to the mix.
When she’s not writing about ghosts, zombies, vampires and other things that go bump in the night, she can usually be found hiking the side of the mountain or trading her keyboard for knitting needles and curling up with a mug of tea and a podcast.
Or at the microwave, re-heating her tea because she forgot to drink it before it got cold. #writerproblems
Jean has a Bachelor of Science in Social Science, Psych/Soc emphasis, which means she’s smart enough to finish college but not smart enough to choose a major that’s actually useful. But it comes in handy for building psychological character profiles and developing post-apocalyptic societies.
Easily spooked by ghost stories as a child, teen Jean faced her fears by forcing herself to watch horror movies and read Stephen King until she fell in love with the genre. As a grown-up (more or less, depending on who you ask), her tastes expanded to include a broader range of speculative fiction and romance, but she keeps coming back to the supernatural and paranormal. She has a strong affection for all things zombie-related, which is a good thing considering she wrote an entire trilogy in that genre.
