Janice Bennett
Janice is a native Californian who
began
reading voraciously at an early age.
She
kept the local librarian busy with
finding her reading material that
could
compare to THE BLACK STALLION. Even
then
she had a TBR pile, she just didn't
know
the correct terminology for it! When
she was about 10 she discovered the
alluring and addictive world of
Georgette Heyer and fell in love with
romance. In her teens she found that
she
also enjoyed reading science fiction.
Janice is now a dog groomer who is
married and has two (gulp) teenagers.
She is a member of a readers/reviewers
group that meets twice a month at The
Book Barn in Folsom.
