A former librarian, Janet now writes micro-fiction and personal essays. She is currently querying her first novel and has a novella coming out soon.
Janet likes to dive deeply into her protagonists’ minds, exploring women’s lives as they struggle with issues ranging from mental health, anxiety, and alcoholism to neurodiversity and learning disorders. Her characters are imperfect and often frustrating, but she hopes that their journeys will generate discussion and provide the reader with food for thought.
