Hi Amanda,
Great to hear from you. It's sweet of you to ask! And notice! I don't have a publisher anymore as Sourcebooks chose not to publish my new books. I have a few things I've worked on, but nothing is done yet.
I'll be finishing up a new book next year, I've taken a bit of a break from writing. I'll let you know when it's ready to read!!
Thanks! Much love,
Janet

I've always always loved writing. And I always wanted to write a book. When I had my son (16 years ago AHHHH!) I decided it was time to write one.
Now I'm inspired by lots of things, but mostly by wanting to tell stories about characters who are going through change, and need to know they're going to be all right. I'm a sucker for sad stuff. I write, because it makes me feel better.

Thanks so much. Wilfred is actually the name of the Grandpa I never met but the character is made up. He is a sweet old guy isn't he. I wish he was real!!!

I would love to have it made into a movie! Haha! I don't get to choose that though. Someone would have to buy the rights and make it! Lovely idea though! Thanks!

Thanks so much for your kind words! I'm so glad you enjoyed The Truth About Us. I have to tell you though, that there won't be a sequel. The books I write are stand alones. You can make up your own story for their later lives though!

Thanks for the compliment! 16 Things Was kind of inspired by a 'what if' situation. What if a girl who was embarrassed by something that happened on social media and lost her friend, ended up living her life on social media (irony) and needed to get a real life back.
Janet Gurtler
I would love to see that too. :) Unfortunately,I don't have a lot of say in it. That's up to the movie buying and making people. But thanks for letting me know !

Hi! I loved your question and the way you half answered it! All of my YA books have been stand alones, so no, I don't plan on writing a sequel.
Amy was one of my favorite characters to write, so it would be fun to write more about her, but at this point, I don't think that will happen. :)
Thanks for writing!

I think the intention is for you to imagine the rest. As far as I'm concerned Jaz and Jackson go on to have a good life.
Janet Gurtler
There isn't. If I Tell was a stand alone book :)

Hi Amanda!
I have not got anything planned as far as a sequel to my books go. I do want to write an epilogue to How I Lost You (a couple of characters do show up in The Truth About Us briefly) I just have to find the time to write it. Le sigh. :)

Study the craft of writing and never give up your dream, whatever that dream is. Traditional publishing or otherwise.

A romance series! Adult, but not too steamy

I try not to believe it exists...I will try and write through it, set up word count goals until I push through it.
