Meet Me

Jan wearing sunglasses contemplates the delights of travel while standing next to a smiling camel with a colorful halter, under a clear blue sky.

Yes, it’s me and a Dromedary.

I love collecting unusual experiences. They show up in my stories.

For years I used the power of storytelling to entice consumers, influence politicians, and motivate employees. Now I write to share the lessons I learned from the detonation of cancer in my lungs. I want my descriptions of the nature of the malady and the forms and impacts of modern medical treatment to demystify the journey ahead for fellow patients and their families – and to offer hope.
