Jeanne Devon Books & Biography

Biography

Jeanne is an Alaskan adventurer, author, and entrepreneur whose landmark retail store sold merchandise that helped people enjoy the great outdoors in a state where modern-day conveniences like electrical outlets, cell service, and “fancy indoor camping” are sometimes not available. Living on the Last Frontier, she’s experienced a massive volcanic eruption, hundreds of earthquakes, hurricane force winds, and power grid disruption at subzero temperatures. She’s been caught on a boat that lost its propeller in the Gulf of Alaska–a hundred miles from the harbor. She has a giant freezer full of foraged wild mushrooms, berries, moose, salmon, halibut, and summer vegetables from the garden. In her other life, she’s a New York Times bestselling author, a multiple national award-winning blogger, and the recipient of half a dozen Alaska Press Club awards for her writing about environmental issues, Alaska militias, and politics.
