Janis Thomas has been published by Penguin, dropped from Lake Union, self-published to stay relevant, and fought tooth and nail to bring her latest – and most acclaimed novel -to life. In this frank and honest talk, Janis will recount the many ups and downs she has experienced as a professional writer; her triumphs and struggles, her successes, failures, her joys and her darkest days. She will share all of the wisdom she has gained along the way. Her story will inspire you to keep writing, keep stretching yourself, and to always aim for excellence because every word you write is part of your legacy as a writer.
Janis Thomas is the best-selling author of domestic suspense novels What Remains True and All That’s Left of Me (Lake Union), as well as three critically acclaimed humorous women’s fiction novels; Something New, Sweet Nothings (Penguin USA), and Say Never (Wedlock). Her latest from Blackstone is the psychological suspense novel Finding Grace, which Publisher’s Weekly calls “Engrossing” and Kirkus calls “Authentically creepy.”
Janis is a popular workshop leader and speaker, and a passionate writing advocate. She lives in Southern California with her terrific husband, amazing teenagers, and two crazy dogs. Find out more at www.janisthomas.com
