Picture it - you are living in picturesque Heidelberg in Germany. And you´re leaving home essentially for the sole purposes of inheriting haunted houses or to haggle with airlines over frequent flyer miles. Imagine further receiving mysterious messages, which have been sent 11000 years ago. What would you do, if an anonymous host invites you and two more people you have never seen before, and who happen to have as much clue about this invitation as you do. No idea? Then you have a pretty good grasp on the decisions, which the hermit-like historian Urs and his business-savvy niece Alice are facing.
As a five-week-old-baby in the San Joaquin Valley of California, Jane St.John with her parents, traveled by auto from mid-California, northward to the outskirts of San Francisco, across the bay near Berkeley and Albany, to Richmond where she grew up. She graduated from San Jose State University with a BA degree in History and English. As a Graduate, she studied for and received a Secondary Teaching Credential from San Jose State University. She taught English and was Head of the English Department at a high school in a small town in the mid-west. Later on she taught in private schools. However, since Teaching positions were becoming scarce, she decided to accept a technical writer position in industry; discovered she liked writing over teaching. She worked as a Technical Writer for various companies over the years; at a storage data firm for five years. During that time she grew ill; resigned and returned to California. While hospitalized in northern California, she was diagnosed as mentally ill. Years later and from her experiences came her first novel released a year ago on September 10, 2013, entitled "Seeking Normal." Authored by Jane St.John (pen name).
