Janet has been an educator for over forty years teaching children from first grade through high school. Investing in the lives of children has been and continues to be her passion. This same passion for teaching children continues in the illustrating and story writing of children's Bible stories. Janet enjoys finding characters within the Bible that are often overlooked and bringing them to to life in her children's books. Service is her heart as she serves in many areas within her community including her local church, vacation bible school, writing curriculum for programs and the Christian school where she serves, and organizing events to encourage family togetherness. She enjoys painting and spending time with her family on her quiet little ranch in the country of rural Missouri.
