Janet took lessons in acting to improve her writing skills. She wrote the Great American Novel for 10 years and finished only three manuscripts that she was able to really sell. Upon suggestion from friends, Janet started writing romantic novels. She discovered that writing a genre of romance was enjoyable.
Career
She wrote 2 romantic novels and submitted her manuscripts to the publishers. But it was hard to find a good publisher for her novels. After trying hard for some time, Janet started to work with an employment agency. After few months of hard work, she got her first manuscript sold at $2,000. This was a huge amount of money for her at that time.
Her popular novel “Hero at Large” was published in 1987. She then started writing in her own name, abandoning the pen name that she had adopted initially. Janet is known for the humor she fills in her novels and this makes her the best writer in her field. Post Hero At Large, she came to know what exactly she wanted to write in her novels and began to adopt a strategy. In 1995 Janet moved to Hampshire with her family. There she created her office in front of a nice view from her house which is surrounded by a few acres of land. She felt good writing from that place. It was then she realized that there was much more than just writing. Janet then started off a family business. Her son handled all the financial issues. In 1996 her daughter Alex, a graduate of photography created a website for her to officially showcase her mother’s talent.
