About Jan...
For as long as Janette Kenny can remember, plots and characters have taken up residence in her head. But she didn't fully embrace her secret dream to write for a living until she was a busy cosmetologist making a name for herself in her own salon. Once the writing bug bit, the incurable passion consumed her to create stories and people them.
She's climbed in the saddle and ridden the same trails as her western heroes and heroines, camped on the range, explored ghost towns in blizzards and stone jails in record heat waves, and visited too many stage stops between the Mississippi and the West Coast to count. She's slept in authentic log cabins listening to the lonesome howl of a coyote, and came frighteningly close to crossing paths with a grizzly bear high in the Rocky Mountains in Montana.
A four-time contest finalist with three of her historical romances and winner with two, Janette has published over a dozen articles on Kansas history. She's a member of Romance Writers of America, and its affiliate chapters: Hearts Through History and Heartland Romance Authors.
Since the publication of her debut novel, ONE REAL COWBOY, on March 2007, she's gone on to publish six more novels. Four of her novels have appeared on Neilsen's Bookscan with A COWBOY CHRISTMAS making the list for three straight week. She's also seen her three contemporary novels listed on eHarlequin's top ten bestseller list and Borders Group top ten bestseller list.
Currently, Janette lives outside Kansas City with a rescued Chow-mix dog who can find more trouble to get into than the characters in her novels.
