More About the Author

Janice Kay Johnson is the author of sixty-plus books for children and adults. Her first four published romance novels were coauthored with her mother Norma Tadlock Johnson, also a writer who has since published mysteries and children's books on her own. These were "sweet" romance novels, the author hastens to add; she isn't sure they'd have felt comfortable coauthoring passionate love scenes!

Janice graduated from Whitman College with a B.A. in history and then received a master's degree in library science from the University of Washington. She was a branch librarian for a public library system until she began selling her own writing.

She has written six novels for young adults and one picture book for the read-aloud crowd. ROSAMUND was the outgrowth of all those hours spent reading to her own daughters, and of her passion for growing old roses. Two more of her favorite books were historical novels WINTER OF THE RAVEN and THE ISLAND SNATCHERS which she wrote for Tor/Forge. The research was pure indulgence for someone who set out intending to be a historian!

Janice is divorced and has raised her two daughters in a small, rural town north of Seattle, Washington. She's an active volunteer and board member for Purrfect Pals, a no-kill cat shelter, and foster kittens often enliven a household that already includes a few more cats than she wants to admit to!

Janice loves writing books about both love and family -- about the way generations connect and the power our earliest experiences have on us throughout life.

In addition to her real name, she has also written under several pseudonyms through the years, including Janice Stevens, Janice Bartlett, Kay Bartlett and Kay Kirby.

Her Superromance novels are frequent finalists for Romance Writers of America RITA awards, and she won the 2008 RITA for Best Contemporary Series Romance for SNOWBOUND.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Story, December 17, 2007

I found this book to be a wonderful, engaging story that stands head and shoulders above most of the other books in this line. The hero, John Fallon, is a tragic one. Suffering from post traumatic stress syndrome after experiences in Iraq, he has fled to the Cascade mountains to try and recover. My favorite heroes are always the tragic ones and John is a perfect example; he has been beaten down by life and his only hope is to find love that will be his salvation. In this moving and uplifting story, John is ultimately healed by the power of love and is able to move forward and truly live once again. All readers of romantic tales believe in the power of love, and this story is ultimately very satisfying.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Nice Romantic Love Story, April 3, 2009

This book was absolutely warming to the soul. Love does not need perfection as most people seem to look for someone perfect. I was always taught don't look for someone you can live with, but find someone you can't live without. That was my take away of this book. When each appeared to go their separate ways they still felt each other to the ends that each was willing to do whatever necessary to make it work, change jobs, change venue, get help, whatever it took because they really could not live without each other. Nice.

5.0 out of 5 stars A whiteout love story..., April 11, 2009

Albeit this is not a whiteout thriller but a blizzard love story it's a good one. You'll never expect that end and just for that is worth reading it. As many vet's stories you can't say this is a cute one but you can say is a good one.

If you want to read a whiteout thriller read "Whiteout" by Ken Follett or "Chill Factor" by Sandra Brown but mind you, although these are very good books you can't compare them with this one 'cause these are thrillers. Not love stories
