About Janet W. Butler
Janet is a writer, editor, and editorial consultant by day and a “small soprano” by night. An RWA Golden Heart Winner for RAINMAN'S BRIDE, a traditional romance that took the crown in 1998, she is also the author of “the best two little books almost no one ever heard of”—two romances, both published with small presses, and both now back in her possession to be resold. In response to requests from “mentees,” she’s also produced an e-book version of the popular workshop series 12 Weeks to Your First (or Next) Novel, available through Kindle Direct.
A Chicago area native, she’s now back home after a stint in northeast Indiana, living not far from one of the Chain o’ Lakes with Maisie, Fur Diva and Office Cat Extraordinaire. When she’s not writing, she’s baking the annual Christmas Cookie Extravaganza, sampling new wines, or spending quality time at her piano trying to unravel the mysteries of Beethoven, Brahms, Chopin, Debussy, Elgar, Mendelssohn, Rachmaninoff, and Schubert. She’s also a member of various choral organizations in the Chicago area, in which occasionally she hits notes only dogs can hear.
