Author Information

As a native of Houston, Texas with parents of Louisiana Creole descent, Jennifer Gordon Grant spent much of her early adult life as a divorced mother of two, who relocated with her children to the Washington, DC area in 1995 for a fresh start. While taking classes at a local college at night, Jennifer worked primarily as an executive assistant for major corporations, including a 16-year career at BET (a Viacom, Inc. television network) before embarking on a career in interior design. Jennifer's son, Christian Fretty, is the illustrator of ""Grandma's Magical Musical Memory - An Alzheimer's Story. Her children's contribution to the book makes it truly a ""family"" venture as they remember and honor their ""grandma."" Christian C. Fretty (AKA ""Tha Bearded Artist""), was born in Houston, TX and recognized at an early age that he shared his grandfather's artistic ability and talent. It was while serving in the United States Navy that he became interested in formal training as an artist and studied art history, computer graphics and animation at a local college. Christian's work has been featured in several exhibits in the Washington, DC and Maryland area, and receives numerous commissioned requests from art enthusiasts and collectors, alike.
