Janis Johnson Reese is a passionate storyteller. Her love of writing began with a childhood spent immersed in books, especially historical fiction, biographies, and the writings of influential figures like President Thomas Jefferson and British horticulturist Gertrude Jekyll. Inspired by literary voices such as Laura Ingalls Wilder, Rosamunde Pilcher, Irving Stone, Thomas Hardy, and Jane Austen, Janis developed a deep appreciation for narratives that capture the complexities of life and history with heart and elegance.
Her debut novel, "Seasons of Change," Book 1 of The Rosemeade Chronicles, was born from nearly a decade of reflection and a heartfelt desire to share a story rooted in truth. Although the names have been changed, the experiences portrayed are real, and the book offers a gentle message of hope to anyone navigating similar life challenges or simply seeking an uplifting read.
Outside of her professional and writing life, Janis finds joy in her garden, which she considers a quiet retreat for inspiration. She's also a novice quilter and takes pride in her scratch-made pies. Above all, Janis treasures her family: her husband, two adult sons, two daughters-in-law, and a brilliant teenage grandson who she believes is destined to make a meaningful impact on the world.
