Jennifer Muse lives with her husband, Sam, and their daughter, Ellie, in Hanover County, Virginia. She and Sam grew up in the same neighborhood that they currently live in—conveniently right across the street from Sam’s parents and right down the road from Jennifer’s! A week before Ellie’s due date, Jennifer experienced a hemorrhagic stroke, encouraging her and her husband to move closer to their parents and raise their daughter near a strong support system. Living so close to family and seeing the relationship between Ellie and her grandparents inspired Jennifer to write What the Hey Hey.
Jennifer attended James Madison University and earned her master of arts in teaching in 2018. She is a former fifth grade teacher who has transitioned into the construction industry. When she isn’t working or writing, Jennifer loves weekend coffee shop visits, spending time with family near the water or in her backyard around the firepit, and working on DIY projects.
