Jan Tilley was born and raised in northern Ohio. Enticed by the Atlantic Ocean, she later moved to Wilmington, North Carolina and now resides in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.

She has held a wide array of jobs throughout the years, including newspaper reporter, veterinary assistant, and Public Information Officer for Emergency Management. But, her most important job has been raising her two daughters. She has been married to her high school sweetheart since 1985.

Thank you!

I would like to thank everyone for your words of advice and encouragement. I agreed with you that my first novel, COMING ABOUT, needed work. Constructive criticism can be very powerful!

I reworked the entire book and republished it under the title, IN A FLASH. After I bought the rights back from my publisher, I could make any changes that I wanted. Complete creative control ~ I LOVE IT! :)
