More About the Author
I've always loved stories. When I was too young to read I loved listening to my parents and grandparents tell stories. I come from a family of storytellers. On lazy Sunday afternoons we would sit on the porch and the adults would try to top each other with outlandish tales. Some of them had a moral, some were funny, some were scary but all of them were completely enthralling. When I learned to read you could always find me with a book in my hands. The library was my favorite place in the world, and it still is. From the time I was seven, I was writing my own stories. At first they were very short and usually mimicked some fairy tale I'd read or heard. Then when I was in high school I started writing longer stories with romantic themes. A shy, awkward teen, the heroines in my stories were never like me, they were outgoing, together, and always got the cute guy. To date, I'm the author of sixteen novels and nine short stories that were included in some very interesting anthologies. I am blessed to be able to do what I was born to do: write. Because I never take my blessings for granted, I work hard at my craft and I hope it's reflected in the stories I produce. Ultimately, I write stories that I want to read. I'll say to myself, "You know, I've never read a book about African American shapeshifters, or a book in which the sea is so prominent it's like one of the major characters." So I wrote OUT OF THE BLUE. I hope you'll read it if you haven't had the chance to do so. Or I'll think to myself, "What if angels and humans mated and their offspring were still living on Earth?" So I wrote AVENGING ANGEL in the anthology, CREEPIN'. Ideas come to me in the strangest ways. Sometimes I dream them up, literally. I've always had very vivid, colorful dreams. They're better than any movie. And I remember every detail of them when I awaken. This is why I keep a dream journal. And I always suggest to aspiring writers that they keep one. You never know where your next idea is going to come from. Most of all, though, my ideas come from everyday people. Normal people who are really much more interesting than they think they are. I believe we are all special and we all have a story to tell. What's yours?

A Great Book!,
By Luv2Read "imareader2" (Baton Rouge, LA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: All the Right Reasons (Arabesque) (Mass Market Paperback)
"All the Right Reasons" is another great book Janice Sims has written. Clay Knight and Georgie Shaw make a lovely couple. Clay, a private investigator, is hired by Charles Waters, to find what Mr. Waters thinks is his child. However, a surprise awaits Mr. Waters when not one, but two adult children surface. The plot thickens not only with the discovery of the twins, but also when Clay realizes that someone is out to murder Georgie. However, that someone is set to not only destroy Georgie, but must destroy Georgie's twin sister, Bree in order to get what the murderer wants. Toni Shaw, Georgie and Bree's mother, and Charles Waters (Chuck) lover years ago is forced to protect her children in any way possible. Toni must confront Chuck after years of separation, but will the confrontation also bring to surface Toni's undying feelings of love? A love that was never buried even though Toni thought Chuck had neglected her in a time of need years ago. Toni must now confront all of her feelings for all the right reasons -- those for her children as well as to put a close to a past that held deep love and a future that still has love in it for Chuck. Those feelings of love are not only from Toni, but Chuck must also realize his feelings and what he gave up years ago. "All the Right Reasons" has suspense and romance. Also, there is a story in itself with Toni Shaw and Charles Waters. "All The Right Reasons" is a great book!

Romance and DangerA Chilling Combination!,
By Brina D. "rattler4life" (Tallahassee, FL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: All the Right Reasons (Arabesque) (Mass Market Paperback)
Georgie Shaw's world is turned upside down the minute her mother introduces her to Clayton Knight. All of a sudden Georgie becomes the target of a hired hit man. Then Georgie and her twin sister, Briane, learn the truth about the father they never knew. But things really get heated up when Georgie finds herself in the protective arms of Mr. Clay "Knight In Shining Armor". This tale is full of suspense. But, the action flows so fast you won't have time to bite your nails! And if the hunt and chase is not enough to keep your heart pounding...the attraction between Georgie and her man Clay most definitely will! Once again, Ms. Sims uses a strong loving family as a backdrop for her story. True to her literary form, Ms. Sims develops all of her characters very well - even the household staff. The scene between the household cook and the killer will have you rolling! I also like the fact that the ladies in this story are not those faint-hearted, "Owww, I twisted my ankle" kind of women. Janice Sims does it again. All The Right Reasons is the fourth Janice Sims novel that I've read, and as always I was completely drawn in! Great job Ms. Sims. Keep'em Coming! Now that things have settled down, I'd like to know what happens to Toni and Chuck too.

Janice Sims Has Another Hit!,
By
This review is from: All the Right Reasons (Arabesque) (Mass Market Paperback)
Janice Sims has a way with words as she writes this romance, adventure, murder mystery novel. She seems to be able to craft a story of romance with the twists of excitement of adding mystery. This is what we get, Toni Shaw, mother of twin daughters, Charles Waters, Toni's ex-lover and father of the twins, and Clayton Knight the private investigator. So with these major characters we get lots of humor, serious unresolved issues, major love sparks and some dangerous murder attempts. All this wraps up to be one good book that is worth every bit of time you give to read it all. I just have one problem with this book, it leaves us with so many unresolved answers to what happens to the major characters. But then again, I guess we just have to patiently wait for Janice Sims to give us a sequel to find out! If you like Janice Sims, check out some of these other published books of hers I truly enjoyed: A Bittersweet Love, For Keeps, Out of the Blue, Love Letters and Affair of the Heart.
