: About Me

Janice was born in the United Kingdom and is currently living is S.Africa with her husband, mother, 3 dogs and a cat..

Janice has studied business and art and enjoys numerous hobbies.  She has always enjoyed writing and is currently writing her first novel which she is hoping will be published.

My passion is ...

People, writing, art, movies and lot's of others - too many to mention

Nothing - always learning

My parents always told me ...

My first job ...

Secretary

When my children were born

My inspiration ...

Stretching my imagination..........
