Janice MacDonald
Janice has been writing for as long as she can remember.
She's always kept diaries and still does. She finds
fascinating to look back to a specific day and year and
see exactly what she did that day. While she's not
compulsive about very much else, she writes in her diary
on a daily basis. And often steals from it for her fiction!
Janice majored in journalism at California State
University, Long Beach and worked as a reporter on a
number of small and short lived weekly papers for several
years before deciding that there had to be more reliable,
maybe even lucrative, ways to make a living. She switched
to public relations in the early 1980's and eventually
became director of media relations for a large west coast
HMO. In that capacity, she had the memorable experience of
saying no to Mike Wallace when the 60 Minutes news crew
showed up one day.
She left the corporate world in 1990 and freelanced for a
number of publication including the Los Angeles Times. She
also ghostwrote numerous medical articles for various
professional journals.
Today, she combines fiction and non-fiction writing and
works from her home in Vista, California where she lives
with her husband on three acres with an ever changing cast
of animals, including a pygmy goat. Most recently, Janice
discovered the joys of living on the water. During the
week, she stays on a Columbia 26' sailboat docked in Long
Beach Marina, using her lap top and cell phone to work and
keep in touch.
She has two grown children, Christopher who lives in
Washington and Carolyn, who lives in Flagstaff, Arizona.
She also has a 7 year old granddaughter, Emily.
