Janet M Dann

Janet Dann was born in upstate New York, and spent many summer vacations with her family visiting their relatives on the family farm in southeastern South Dakota. She also spent a year in VISTA in South Dakota on the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation.

She has a BA in Anthropology from NYU, and a BS in Nursing from Alaska Methodist University. She is currently retired and with her husband, traveled the country for nine years in an RV. They are now living in the San Juan Islands in Washington.

Janet began writing when she finished the second book in an historical fiction Great Depression era series set in South Dakota which her father had begun called, "The Good Neighbors Series". She then wrote two more books in the series, creating a saga of three interconnected families in the early 1930s: the Dacias, immigrant Romanians; the Wagners, established farmers of German origin; and the Epsteins, of New York City, all of whom are beleaguered by both the Chicago Mafia and a Greek gang from Iowa.

Her work is rich in detail, character development, action and plot twists which all come together in wholesome tales of love and compassion triumphing over hate and vengeance.
