and teaching remain favorites. The stories people share have touched her heart and life, and it is now her passion to share those stories with a larger audience. After choosing to leave the world of paid work in 2000, she served as a Hospice volunteer for several years, and also volunteered as a trained Stephen Minister. Today Janet is a volunteer speech teacher at a private Christian school, and serves as co-chair of the prayer shawl ministry at her church. She and her husband Rodger reside in Colorado.
There’s a special place in Janet’s heart for young people—they’re her favorite! She’ll gladly clear her schedule to encourage and support them through personalized messages that meet them in the moment.
Janet is available, on a limited basis, to speak with beginning writers, as well as women’s and men’s church and service groups. She shares her faith journey as it relates to writing and life.
