Jan's Bio...

Jan Verhoeff lives just west of the Great Plains, and just east of the Rocky Mountain foothills of Colorado with three of her four children, and a wild skunk called Manhattan. (No he doesn't live in the house, he just thinks he does.) Her wild imagination and fortitude have given her courage to step into the future and live the life of her dreams. Jan spends her days writing, painting, and home schooling her children. Her nights she saves for worrying about child number four who is diligently preparing for a career in Criminal Justice after college.

Jan's perpetual desire to learn originally focused her writing in the Business Industries, where she writes motivational and marketing articles for a variety of publications. Her first book publication, self-published in 1991, sold more than a thousand copies in a local business market. Later publications include: "Stories for the Trail" (with other Authors), "Words To Ponder - One Woman's Thoughts", "Prickly Points of Life", "Recipes from Jan's Kitchen", "Focus on Function", and "Put Your Thoughts In Print".

More recently, Jan's writing interest leans toward mystery and behavioral humor. Both are included in her latest endeavor due to be released in March 2005 "Out of the Box", a publication about the triumphs and joys of home based education, and the processes she's found that work best with her children and others.
