ⓘ About Janice Maynard
Janice Maynard is an American novelist most known for writing contemporary romance novels. The USA Today bestselling author is one of those writers that had writing in their blood from a very young age. A voracious reader, her goal while in the third grade was to read every fiction book in the school library. She would go on to read the entire A section that was easily more than 200 titles. From the age of eight, Janice had a great love for books and knew that her destiny was to become a writer. Nonetheless, she did not have a smooth journey to the top as she had to face multiple rejections before she got a publisher to publish her novels. She currently lives in Tennessee with Charles, her husband.
