Hi Jane,
I started to write you a messasge and I did something and it disappeared. Anyway, I was saying, yes I’m Mary Beth’s sister, and I thought you wrote the Wise Women book. I was in a Sat morning workshop at Mary Beth’s church in Sierra Madre years back, and we used your book. It’s an honor to meet you and be here on your blog.
I see you’ve written books for teens. Have you ever written any children’s books? I have an idea for one, and I’ve always wanted to ilustrate children’s book. Just puttin’ it out there…
Love and Blessings on your day, Dear Friend!

Hi Susan,
I’m glad you like my WiseWoman book. There are still a lot of groups and workshops going on in a variety of places. Yes, I have written about 80 teenage books (almost no illustrations) and a couple of books for 4th&5th graders but never have done a picture book. Picture books are a whole different world that I know little or nothing about. You could make contact with your local Society of Children’s Book Writers and they have a section especially for illustrators. I’m sure you would get the information you need and make contact with the right people. If you want more information, contact me at WiseJane@aol.com and best wishes.
Hi Dr. Jane,
I love reading your blogs but especially wanted to comment on prayer partnering. I have been prayer partnering for about a year now and it has been amazing. I very much look forward to our calls.
Rev. Linda Overton
Hi Rev. Linda,
Yes, prayer partners serve a real need for safe connection and deep spiritual work. I am happy you have a good partner and I wish you all the best. You and John are two wonderful people and I wish we saw more of each other.
Love,
Jane
HI, I’m wondering how to contact you – you’d be a perfect fit for my radio show, the Daring Dreamers Showcase at IDareYouRadio.com – please let me know! Thanks – aloha -
