Janice served as an adjunct professor at Saginaw Valley State University (SVSU), where she shared her love of writing. After relocating to Garland, TX in 1996 to be closer to her grandchildren, her talents as a Librarian found a home fostering her love for reading with the Garland Public Library and later, Amy Parks Elementary School. A gifted freelance storyteller, Janice brought tales to life across diverse audiences-even traveling to Russia to share her craft. In her spare time Janice loved birdwatching, baking cookies, and crafting with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
