See Jane Run
A former Le Mars resident is authoring a series of mystery books. Jolene (Stratton) Philo’s first book in the series, “See Jane Run,” is about a single school teacher from Sioux City who moves to South Dakota. Jolene was a teacher for 25 years and many would remember that her mom, Dorothy Stratton, was a long-time teacher in Le Mars. Jolene talks about how she came up with the idea for the book series.
“See Jane Run” is the first of a series of “See Jane” books planned.
“See Jane Run” is available through Amazon in hard cover, paperback, Kindle, and soon as an audio book.
