About Jan
Jan Gangsei grew up in the small town of Barre, Vermont, reading Nancy Drew mysteries, putting on backyard shows with her best friend and dreaming about exploring the world. After college, she landed a job as a newspaper reporter covering politics and the police beat—and was astonished to discover she could actually get paid to write and tell stories. Since then, she’s lived in Key West, New York City, DC, Barbados and Vermont. She’s now settled with her family in northern Virginia, where she writes full time with her rescue pup Willie curled at her side.
