Author, lecturer, screenplay writer, Janet Uhlar’s genre is rarely seen. She presents biography through the living, breathing form of biographical fiction. The characters lived; the events occurred. The dialogue carries the stories. Janet firmly believes that when the private lives and unique personalities of historical figures are presented, and the dynamics between these characters brought out, history becomes much more than cold black print on a stark white page. History takes on a life of its own, with true flesh and blood individuals whose acts of courage, indifference, or cowardice shaped the world we live in today.

Her research on the American Revolution began forty years ago and continues.

Janet’s first book, Liberty’s Martyr: The Story of Dr. Joseph Warren was first published in 2001 with a second run in 2009. With new information available - and the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution upon us, Janet has updated Liberty's Martyr.
Dr. Joseph Warren was the foremost Patriot leader who was responsible for making the decision to ignite the American Revolution. The British declared his life worth 500 ordinary colonials. A well-known Loyalist contemporary claimed that if Warren survived the war, the name of George Washington would be obscure.

Her second book, Freedom’s Cost: The Story of General Nathanael Greene was released in August of 2011. She continues her research on General Greene, hoping to present the reasons that his enormous role in the survival and victory of the Continental Army is negated,

In 2013, Janet was seated on the jury of the Whitey Bulger trial -- a high-profile federal trial in Boston. It proved to be a life changing experience after which she realized no journalist who had written about Bulger for more than thirty years ever corresponded with or interviewed him. Janet did. The communication between them revealed a dark experiment conducted by the CIA of which Bulger was determined to reveal. The Truth Be Damned, was officially released in April 2018. This book also presents U.S. History -- an area of our history of which I never intended to become involved.

CIA created "Whitey" Bulger

Associated Press journalist and Pulitzer recipient Michael Rezendes (portrayed in movie, Spot Light), interviewed me in October and has been working on an article about "Whitey" Bulger's participation in secret CIA experiment known as MKULTRA Project.
