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.

This review is from: What She Wants for Christmas (Harlequin Superromance No. 720) (Paperback)

From the back cover: All she wanted under her Christmas tree is this man! Joe Hughes. He's gorgeous, strong, passionate...with the kind of intensely private quality that's a challenge to any self-respecting woman. Not that Teresa really needs another challenge in her life. She's just moved to a small town in Washington and while her young son thinks it's cool, her teenage daughter hates the place. Worse, although Teresa's a darn good vet, the local farmers won't let her tret their livestock.

Still, Teresa can't resist loving Joe even when she learns that Joe's keeping a secret that threatens her happiness, and his own...

I'll add my thoughts after I read it.
