Janet Van Gorden is a small town girl pursuing her lifelong dream of becoming an author. Her fondest childhood memories are of long summer afternoons spent on her front porch surrounded by piles of books waiting to be read, and open notebooks ready to be filled with blossoming story ideas.
Besides writing and reading, Janet enjoys her extraordinary life as a mom to her three grown children, and wife to her husband (aka her High School sweetheart). She lives in rural Northeast Pennsylvania where life is quiet and she is learning to appreciate her emptying nest. To help encourage others to connect over books, and to fill some of her free time, Janet and her husband created a library room and book club for the local community to enjoy.
On any given evening Janet can be found watching the Phillies play baseball, spending time with her two affectionate pugs, and baking, to satisfy her sweet tooth.
