Janice Broyles grew up in Madison Heights, Michigan, the third of four children. Janice loved Sundays because it meant she got to listen to Bible stories. Each week, she attended Sunday school with her siblings. It was there she fell in love with those Bible stories and the characters in them. Today, she is a college instructor, freelance editor, and inspirational writer and speaker. Her first book, No Longer Rejected: A Woman's Journey from Rejection to Freedom, is an inspirational account that has won several awards. The Secret Heir, her first novel, is proof that she still loves those Bible stories.

She lives in Cadillac, Michigan, with her husband, two sons, and one little dog. Connect with her online at www.janicebroyles.com.
