The family continued creating together until the boys joined the 101st Airborne Division of the U. S. Army to become Rangers. Jordan continued writing scripts for Hollywood, eventually working with producers at Warner Bros. , Universal, Cosgrove/Meurer and Republic Pictures.

In 2002, her eldest son, Jason was killed in the line of duty. Her son Josh still serves in the Army and survived two tours in Iraq. He moved on to Drill Sergeant before changing to an assignment overseas.

They both graduated from Newbury Park High-school in 1994 and 1996, respectively, on the Honor Roll with awards in History.

In December of 1990, Jordan wrote, directed and produced her first feature entitled, Clayton's Riders (1991) with the Christmas money her children gave her in lieu of getting presents. Five hundred dollars. Her sons joined her, working on set with the crew. They had already been bit by the acting bug ever since she used them during her school assignments. Like their mother, both sons were highly creative and well-read, creating their own role-playing games along the lines of Dungeons & Dragons.

Jordan's first book was published by Berkley Books in 1988 and she spent a year touring with her book.

She attended two years at San Jose City College before divorcing her husband and returning to Southern California in 1985. She raised her sons on her own as a single mother and the family had very little as Jordan struggled to re-establish her career.

In 1981, Jordan went to college and as fate would have it, all the classes she was interested in were full. While browsing the catalog, she discovered a Film and Broadcasting class being offered and she jumped at the chance to take it. There she discovered her talents for directing and producing. While still in school, she began hiring out to businesses, up-and-coming rock bands, and radio stations, writing and directing films, music videos, commercials and industrial videos.

Born in an Army hospital in the state of Georgia, Jordan's father abandoned the family when she was only six weeks old. Her mother moved her brother and Jordan to southern California where, for the most part, she spent the rest of her life. She attended Hueneme High-school and, at 16, began waitressing as a carhop at a local A&W restaurant. She studied drama and wrote for her own pleasure, but her blue collar upbringing pushed thoughts of Show Business out of her head. She married a Navy man stationed at Point Mugu, California the before she graduated on the Honor Roll in June of 1974. Jordan and her husband had two children, Jason & Joshua - named for the lumberjack brothers from the television series, Here Come The Brides.
