Jan’s path to novel writing began with her love of books and movies, which led to screenwriting. She optioned multiple projects and taught screenwriting classes at San Francisco State University and the University of California-Berkeley for several years before deciding, somewhat belatedly, that screenplays are written to be seen, whereas she wanted to write something to be read.
From the film world, Jan took to novel writing a strong sense of scene and dialogue. Wally Lamb blurbed her first novel, Edgewise. Lake Union published her second, Reading the Sweet Oak. This October, Mumblers Press brought out her new book, Becoming Felicity. Jan’s currently working on her next novel, Genevieve, whose elderly ballsy narrator happens to be dead.
