Janie Lancaster grew up in Middletown, New York.
She now lives in southern California with her husband Don—her blue eyed childhood sweetheart. She has two children and
one granddaughter.
Her first novel, Julie & The Lost Fairy Tale, was first printed as a serial story in newspapers
throughout the United States and Canada. The story was printed through Newspapers in Education programs where children read
newspapers in classrooms.
Janie is a survivor of childhood traumas—traumas that have led her to become a more
insightful writer. The book of Julie was inspired by her memory and deep love for her grandmother as well as by her dreams—dreams
that gave her strength to keep going through the difficult times in her life.
She plans to take her readers through
dreams and fairy tales, abandonment and recovery and on to survival. Her next novel for young people is entitled Emily/Out
of my Mother’s Darkness. This novel is about coming of age in the midst of emotional and physical abandonment.
Janie
has written inspirational poetry that will be included in her true-life story she is now editing entitled When Silence Reigns.
It is a therapeutic how-to book about how her writing gave voice to a silenced child.
At the time of this writing,
she is in the process of editing and getting several of her books edited and ready for publication, so
keep your eye on Star Publish’s first children’s book author and follow her as she pursues her dreams and heads
for the stars.
