Meet Mystery Author Janis Patterson

Today I'd like to introduce you to Janis Patterson, an amazing woman who has lived a life that has given her more than enough material for all the different kinds of books she writes.

"I write in so many genres because I bore very easily," Janis, a seventh-generation Texan and a third-generation wordsmith said. "Variety keeps me and my writing fresh."

Amazingly, Janis Susan May Patterson writes -- and is successful in all these genres:

mysteries as Janis Patterson
romances and other things as Janis Susan May
children’s books as Janis Susan Patterson
scholarly works as J.S.M. Patterson.

Wow! Impressive, huh? Like the commercials say, "But, wait! There's more!"
