Jill
is an accomplished author and chef. She has lived in Aspen for over 41 years fulfilling a life long dream of writing and publishing books. She is also passionate about children's education. She utilizes her books as a means to motivate children to read as well as help others realize their dream to write.
Jill's newest book, Those
Were The Days - Memories of an Aspen Hippie Chick is
now out and available. Jill spent five years writing
and publishing her memoir from her days living in Aspen
in the 1970's. She relays her many jobs, her passion
for skiing and weaves in stories of charaters and events
that took place during those years. It's mostly funny
and upbeat. She added a Photo Gallery of the many wonderfuld
photos she collected from the archives of the Aspen Times.
Realizing that both of her cookbooks are now out of print,
she added some recipes from restaurants that are now
classics in the Recipe section.
You
can buy
the book on Amazon here.

Jill with her Labrador Retrievers, Maggie
& Fraser
As a young mother, after reading hundreds
of books to her daughter Courtney, she began writing the Fraser
series of children's adventure books.
Fraser's
Memoir, is the featured book for the month
of April. The book is told from Fraser The Yellow Lab's
perspective. Children love the fact that they are reading
a story written by their favorite pooch!
Says Fraser "I'm
writing my life's story because I felt it was about
time to tell "all" and pass on what I've learned. There's
something for everyone in my book."
Her 1st book, Christmas
in Aspen was written as a tribute to the wonderful
people of Aspen. Next, she combined her love of cooking
with her love of writing, resulting in the cookbook Lighter
Tastes of Aspen.
Jill has created limited
edition Giclee Prints of some of the whimsical illustrations
from s Fraser's adventure books by artist
Tammy Lane. |
