Auntie Jen writes a column in Valley Planet, a fabulous (and free!) paper produced in the Tennessee Valley. 

Valley Planet features all kinds of arts & entertainment news, dining reviews, social and political commentary, humour, classifieds, calendars, photography & more. 

I have a regular column called

Once in a while I touch base on an important animal-related issue in the news. 

However, most of my columns are comical tributes to animals I know and love.  Some come in the format of a story, others are direct interviews I get from animals across the Tennessee Valley--in their words.  (Ok, their parents help sometimes.)  I also accept ideas for articles at writers@valleyplanet.com.
