I've always written - my first readers were classmates at Grammar School when I was 14 years old and writing serials on exercise book paper. This came to an end when I was caught writing under the desk in a chemistry lesson .... Janet Tanner is my real name, under which I wrote some dozen novels, a number of which were published by St Martins Press, NY. These included Oriental Hotel, Folly's Child and Women and War. I have also written many novels for Severn House. My alter ego is Amelia Carr - Dance With Wings, A Song at Sunset, A Woman of Secrets and The Secret She Kept. The real Amelia Carr is my youngest granddaughter - she was just 2 when she allowed me to borrow her name! I am married (to an ex-policeman), have two daughters, and four grandchildren, two boys and two girls. I also have a rescued German Shepherd dog named Gypsy. Dogs have been a huge part of my life, and, apart from our first labrador, Kim, whom we got as a puppy, we have always rescued. Despite the problems, it is just so rewarding! We have also had a house-trained rabbit, a cockatiel and a budgerigar, and several hamsters. I regularly cat-sit for my daughter's lovely Jacob. I have been involved with amateur theatre all my life, acting, directing, singing and, latterly, tap-dancing, something I had always wanted to do! I also have a Private Pilot's licence - learning to fly is probably the achievement I am most proud of. And I still love writing as much as I did when I was 14! How lucky is that?
