Hello and welcome - It's 2025 and so much in my life has changed. Wonderful and terrible. Life and loss. But my outlook is bright.
I live in the land of palm trees and gulf breezes. Dolphins frolic under the dock and seeing them never gets old. They are magnificent. There is magic in this world if you look hard enough.
As much as I love my environment, I can't write outdoors. Instead, I write in a quaint room upstairs. My son once referred to it as HP's room under the stairs since it is oddly whimsical. The stairs leading up to my writing nook narrow and the wall art becomes more gothic. The room has slanted ceilings, loads of family treasures, and a unique vibe. I haven't seen a ghost yet, but I won't be surprised when I do. It's only a matter of time. It's the perfect atmosphere for my current work-in-progress — a dark, academia, paranormal novel.
I have 4 books on the market, 3 complete manuscripts, 1 WIP, 2 outlined ideas & an epic fantasy series in the making. Fantasy is my first love but I enjoy writing YA contemporary as well. I have written under a pen name. I am self-published and traditionally published. I'm rep'd by Sharon Belcastro, Belcastro Agency.
My writings have won various awards including Florida Book Awards Silver Medal, Mom's Choice Award, the Independent Author Network book of the year finalist, Family Choice Award, & New Apple award.
You may have met or seen me on a panel at a book event or comic con. Please, follow my social media accounts and keep in touch.
Cheers to a great year,
Janelle
