Janet Balcombe

Janet Balcombe writes from experience—for the rebels, the addicts and the broken-hearted. She spent her first three decades being part of the problem, not part of the solution. But she faced her demons and now enjoys full healing in her life from grief, meth-addiction and alcoholism. Janet has been clean from drugs and alcohol for 20+ years, although her criminal record still occasionally reminds her that she is a convicted kidnapper.

In 2014, Janet published her memoir, Take a Walk on the Wild Side, which was 5th-equal in the 2015 Ashton Wylie, Mind Body Spirit Literary Awards. In 2016 it was republished, The Wild Side. She went on to write Radical Lives Vol 1 and Vol 2 which are collections of 35 inspirational New Zealander’s true stories.

Wild Side Publishing (WSP) was born in response to authors’ requests for publishing assistance. The Wild Side Charitable Trust (WST) was formed in response to Janet’s readers reaching out to her for support in their recovery. See WST’s promo funding video on www.wildsidetrust.org, for the establishment of a new residential rehab centre in Northland, New Zealand.

Janet is working on her next book, The Call of the Wild, which follows on from The Wild Side. This book delves deeper into the keys which help people receive full healing, to go on to living restored and productive lives. She also has plans for a series of childrens books.
