A former photographic stylist and producer, Janet spent the first 20 years of her professional life in Toronto's fast paced fashion photography industry. Searching for a new direction, in 1994 she became affiliated with The Raymond Aaron Group™, an education and marketing business in Richmond Hill, Ontario. She was personally responsible for creating, and naming the most significant arm of Raymond's business, his Monthly Mentor Program™. Her invaluable insight into human nature along with her highly sought-after production skills, natural writing talent, and her intuitive people and leadership skills were the major reasons why in 1997, Raymond invited her to help him co-ordinate and produce Chicken Soup for the Parents' Soul.

When Jack Canfield later invited her to Co-author Chicken Soup for the Canadian Soul, she jumped at the chance to help create this very special Canadian book. Her stories can now be found in six Chicken Soup for the Soul books, as well as a number of other publications. Along the way she has lent her editorial expertise to a number of other authors to help them bring their own books of personal or spiritual growth to publication.

Janet lives north of Toronto in Aurora Ontario. A lover of Canada's great northern wilderness and a committed environmentalist, as a certified canoeing instructor and trip leader she has enjoyed sharing her love of Canada's natural heritage with others. An eclectic individual with diverse interests and talents, she is a couturier seamstress, plays the violin, and is a passionate ice skater, roller skater and dancer, and cross country skier.
