Jeff JankeMy name is Jeff Janke and I am the proud father to an amazing 12-year-old girl named River. I kind of fell into this world of children's books. I don't consider myself an author, I'm simply a dad, and just like all parents, I'm eager to be the absolute best. I want to provide the happiest childhood possible, filled with magic and wonder, but I'm faced with decisions that challenge me constantly.A few years ago, River's mom called me in a slight panic. River was hearing from other kids that Santa wasn't real. This presented an instant problem--one I had feared for years. Luckily, River still wanted to believe, so that bought us 12 months to come up with a solution. Out of necessity, I wrote a special book for River. And thanks to encouragement from other parents, I've started the author journey and am fumbling my way through publishing Secret Santa Claus Club myself. Being a single father, I look for every opportunity to spend with my little girl. Together we enjoy playing all sorts of sports and making healthy, homemade treats in the kitchen.

I do my best to be a strong and consistent role model for other people, especially my River! Read More Read Less
