Janet Lane Walters' Bio

Janet Lane Walters lives in the scenic Hudson Valley with her husband of many years. She is the mother of four and the grandmother of four. Writing is her obsession. From the time she began to read at the age of four, she's been intrigued by story-telling. In third grade, she re-wrote the ending to Anna Karenina. During her training as a nurse, she wrote case studies that contained the elements of fiction. An eclectic reader, she's carried her reading habits into her writing career. Her books include mysteries, romances (sweet and sensual), historical and contemporary, fantasies and suspense. She's also published short stories, non-fiction and poetry. There's nothing she enjoys more than asking "what if" and finding what happens to the people she creates.
