Marti Coleman-Veach

I was born and raised in a river town called West Portsmouth in Southern Ohio. After I grew up and married my husband, Joe we moved to the Cincinnati area. We have two boys, Talan and Aiden, and a daughter, Katie. We currently live in Covington, Kentucky. I work as a Medical Assistant at Commonwealth Orthopaedic Centers, but my true love is writing/illustrating children's books. I was given the idea for Balloons in Heaven a year and a half ago when Talan told me about his story of his Papaw who is no longer with us. My Dad passed away three years ago of heart disease. Talan was almost two when this happened. Talan and his Papaw were the best of friends. Talan has always had a small obsession with balloons. He told me that he knows when he lets a balloon go outside, it's not lost anymore because it floats to Heaven where his Papaw is saving them for him for when he gets there. I wanted to preserve that memory for Talan and the rest of my family. It is bittersweet for such a beautiful book to come from such a sad loss. I hope that when someone reads Talan's story, Balloons in Heaven, it touches their heart the way it has touched mine and my loved ones.
