Acupuncturist and author Jean Brannon weaves ancient wisdom and metaphysical concepts into self-help strategies to uplift and empower readers. Drawing upon the long history of acupuncturists serving as "barefoot doctors" to foster community health and well being, Jean shares easy and effective holistic health tips and techniques in her latest nonfiction books. Her ancient world romantasy novels also contain Taoist philosophy and New Thought concepts (such as Law of Attraction) woven into stories consciously created to help people live their best lives.

Jean first began to dream of being a writer when she was eleven, not long after her cautious and careful mother died. That's when Jean's loving dad stepped up in ways he never imagined in order to raise two daughters on his own. Jean learned from her father that being willing to try new things - and being willing to laugh if it all went sideways - were crucial to the life of adventure her mother had always craved but never let herself live. Jean decided she would learn to live boldly instead of moving safely toward death every day.

And so, the "give it a whirl" attitude she developed toward life led her from a West Virginia country home to a New York corporate career, where mastering Belt Parkway lane changes taught her she really could do anything. That spirit of adventure, along with a love of ancient ways, has inspired her to study acupuncture, rehab old homes, and collect vintage typewriters. She's writing both her next wellness book and latest ancient world romantasy novel on her grandmother's 1930 Smith Corona.
