Jeanette Vaughan

Jeanette Vaughan began her writing career as a young nurse. Her first piece, at age 21, an article on dying with dignity for the Lubbock Avalanche Journal garnered critical acclaim. She followed this work with several more articles for nursing journals and periodicals, most notably publishing in the Journal of Nursing Education with the article, "Is there really racism in nursing?" Her nursing career spans over 29 years in the areas of critical care, trauma, geriatrics and nursing education. She has practiced in Sydney, Australia as well as the USA. While completing her Master's degree in nursing from Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, Jeanette scripted a full length screenplay entitled, "Angel of Mercy" which examines the real life journey of a hot oil truck driver of West Texas who in 1970 becomes a nurse. Jeanette's next project was the production and scripting of a four part video series entitled, "All About Aging." Abbey Foster Care and Kimberly Quality Care were the corporate sponsors of this award winning educational piece on how to care for older adults. Hospitals and clinics internationally purchased hundreds of copies and used this intriguing video series to teach their clients. FLYING SOLO is her latest page-turning novel depicting an unconventional aviatrix who propels herself into a hurricane of turbulence when she steals a plane. Characters that challenge the norm, thinking and acting outside the box as pioneers are what make Jeanette tick. They are the subjects of her many forays into writing. She is always looking for the next great tale to tell.
