Janet Kay lives and writes on a lake in the woods of Northwest Wisconsin.

Drawn to nature since she was a child, she sees its wonders as a source of renewal, reflection, and connection with something greater than oneself.

She is also strongly drawn to the Victorian era. This is reflected in her writing.

Her lifelong passions include creative writing, travel, photography, and spending time with family and friends.

She has published five novels to date - Waters of the Dancing Sky, Amelia 1868, The Sisters, Rainy Lake Rendezvous, and her latest release - Unfinished Business.

An intriguing psychological thriller with a supernatural twist, Unfinished Business is set along the North Shore of Lake Superior including Isle Royale and Voyageurs National

I fell in love with this place, with the many moods of the ocean, the old Victorian homes, and the island's fascinating history. I was especially intrigued with the Great Storm of 1900 which claimed over 8,000 lives. What if I wrote a book that flashed back and forth in time between this tragedy and life today on the island? What if I integrated the viewpoint of a spirit who died in the hurricane? And what if I introduced concepts of past lives and life on the other side? I was hooked. More importantly, I felt compelled to write a book that could make a difference in the lives of my readers, to help them expand their horizons above and beyond the confines of this world and this lifetime.(less)

HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED...??


Have you ever wondered if there is life after death? If so...is it possible for us to penetrate that veil separating the land of the living from the world of the dead? And...what about reincarnation? Is this possible...or simply a figment of our imaginations?

As I pondered these intriguing possibilities and did my research, my latest novel, THE SISTERS, began to materialize. My fictional charac Read more of this blog post »
