: About Me

Hello!
My name is Janey Brewer. I'm only 23 years old, but writing has always been a large part of my life. My first book, Mist and Moonlight, was published this past July and I would like to continue writing as long as my hands can hold a pen. :)

My passion is ...

writing short stories

I know too much about ...

My parents always told me ...

was the time I received a rejection and acceptance letter for my book on the same day.

Why I write ...

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

My first job ...

I tutored junior high kids after school.

My best moment ...

was holding my book in my hands, the first copy.

My inspiration ...

is my fiancee, Alex.
