About the Author

Janis was provided with eighteen years of solid country life.  Her curiosity about what life was like “out there” was fueled by her insatiable reading.

            She managed to travel extensively meeting many people from many countries.

            She attended various colleges both in the U.S.A. and abroad.

            Janis began writing as a very small child.  Her love for writing and travel was her greatest consistency.  “Having to work kept getting in the way of my living,” she said.

            Janis works taking care of ill persons in their home.  She seeks out precious moments to write.

            Jimmy Joe is her third book.  The picture on this page is an old favorite from the farm.  “I loved being around for potato digging – I could always glean a couple more bushels of potatoes after the others thought we’d picked them all up!” she laughs. “The picture is of my Daddy, Vato, my youngest niece, Leann, myself and one of our dogs.”

            Leann “helped” my dad plow (flow) from the time she was 1 ½ or 2 years old.  She’d sit on the mule, or horse while he plowed.  He paid her 25 cents a day.  She took her job very seriously.
