- My love for writing developed soon after my commitment to Christ. I
felt the need to express in writing my personal testimony. So, my poetry
writing took form. Consequently, many more thoughts about my new outlook
on life penned its way to my first book, Poems of Inspiration and
Occasion. The sales from the book exceeded my expectations. I was so
excited and continued to write from my heart. See my
blog!
- God has given me the gift of evangelism. This is my passion! I love to
study, teach and write this subject. Of course, I knew I was on a roll
with my writing career. I felt the need to write about the basics of
Christianity—geared toward the new believer, as well as toward any
Christian who wanted to get back to the basics—a refresher course.
- But then—the heart of it all. I have completed my third book,
Evangelism: The Heart of the Matter. This is a study guide for the
field worker, those with a desire to spread the Gospel message. I have
prepared this guide as an instructional book to teach Christians the basic
methods of reaching out to people. Included are two progress charts. This
book is now available.
- Plans are underway for my first devotional book along with future
works of my short plays and seminar material.
- See excerpt from Off the Rock
feature on its reporters.

Excerpt — from a
feature on the reporters and staff of "Off The Rock" Newspaper
Janice's interest in writing began with poetry. Many people would request
personalized poems for their friend's and family members. "I actually had a
request to write a eulogy for someone I didn't even know. I was told that it
touched many people." Her collection of poetry grew big enough to publish a
book. Her dream came true with her first self-published book, Poems of
Inspiration and Occasion.She then decided to acquire formal training
in the writing field. She studied Creative Writing through Stratford Career
Institute for which she received an honors diploma. Since then, she began
freelancing. She has had several articles published in various local,
provincial and national newspapers.
The sales of her book exceeded her expectation. She had the privilege of
being interviewed with CBC radio and at the same time recorded of some of
her poetry.
Her employment in the tourism industry led her to the job with "Off The
Rock." As a tourism Officer with Gander Worldwide, she had the privilege of
writing international news as events occurred. One of the most gripping
stories was the Kosovo refugees visiting Gander's Airport. "At the time the
war was heavy over there and refugees were being transported to other
nations. She witnessed first hand the truth of a war torn country, "The
shocking truth and drama of this event had an impact on me. I desperately
wanted this story out there to inform the public of the gruesome nature of
war. I submitted the article to "Off The Rock," and that led me to a writing
position with the paper."
