Hi There,
I'm Erainna Winnett. Wife | Mom | School Counselor | Children's Book Author
Welcome to my little blog.
Happily married to a real-life cowboy (who is also my
personal muse), I write my children's books on a beautiful 300-acre cattle
ranch by the southern Oklahoma riverside. When I'm not Oklahoma-bound, I enjoy
going on cruises. To date, I've taken over 10 of them (Jamaica, Bahamas, Key
West, Cayman Islands, Mexico, Belize, and Honduras). Above all else, I love
spending time with my wonderful family.
I was born and raised in central Louisiana. The oldest of
five children I always yearned to be a teacher and forced my siblings to play
school year round. Naturally, I graduated with a teaching degree in 1995 and
earned my Master's degree in 2000. Five years later I earned my Education
Specialist degree in early childhood education. After fifteen years in the classroom,
I moved to the role of school counselor and I've never been happier.
While serving as school counselor at an elementary school in
northeast Texas, I frequently use children's books as therapy to help my
students heal, learn, and grow. Ideas for my books come from the students I
work with on a daily basis. My goal, as an author, is to touch the hearts of
children, one story at a time.
