Born in Taiwan, Janie has lived in the Philippines, Iran, Thailand, and New Zealand.  She now lives in beautiful Vancouver, Canada with her husband and Mischa, a rescue cat who thinks the staff could be doing a better job.                                                                            

Three Souls is her first novel. It was a finalist for the 2014 BC Book Prizes Ethel Wilson Fiction Prize  and was one of 9 Canadian books long-listed for the 2015 IMPAC Dublin Literary Award.
