edit data

Jan Raymond is a single mom, juggling work and home. She lives with her two girls and a needy basset hound. She's fulfilled a life long dream of writing a book. Her debut novel 'Circle Of Five' is out, and she is busy finishing the second book of the Pha Yul trilogy.

When she is not living deep in Pha Yul, she likes chilling with her girls, cooking up a storm, and hanging out with her rather large family.

She was a teacher for many years and one day, she decided that it was time to get down and do what she had always wanted to do. So, she quit her job and got down to writing her first book. She freelances as a social media executive, and writes blogs, articles etc.
