Jan Thomas

Jan was a firefighter/medic for 14 years until an injury cut short her career. Having loved creative writing for most of her life, she became an award winning weekly humor columnist for The Mountain Democrat in California from 1990 to 2005. She has also spent the last 15 years working as a role-player at a Police Academy and as a "professional bad guy" for numerous other law enforcement agencies in training exercises. She has written several screenplays and "Done In One" is her first novel. Jan lives in Northern California with her husband, a retired S.W.A.T. Sniper and their two Saint Bernards.
