Author Jaime Perez

Jaime R. Perez lives in New Jersey with his wife Krysten and daughters Reagan and Avery.  Jaime’s first job was at the local movie theater, which sparked his interest in writing and creating stories, starting with movie scripts.  After a short stint in script writing, Krysten suggested that he write a children’s book.  Jaime laughed at the idea and did not think he would have the experience in writing a children’s book.  After giving it some thought, he realized that he loved many of the stories he read to his daughters nightly.  He reviewed all his movie ideas until he found one that was originally slated to be a children’s movie.  With a little help from his friends, Soapbox Kids went from an idea to a children’s book.  But Jaime’s story doesn’t end there.   His imagination has taken over and he now has so many more children’s books ideas.  Stay tuned!!
