Janet Ruth has lived an interesting life. She is a native and current resident of Arizona, but has lived outside Arizona twice - once in Indiana and once in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Janet received her bachelor's degree from Grand Canyon University in Phoenix and a law degree from Arizona State University College of Law in Tempe, AZ. She practiced law for five years as an Assistant United States Attorney, handling criminal trials and appellate arguments, and then spent three years as a staff attorney for the Department of Veterans Affairs.
With two small children at home, Janet chose to become a (mostly) stay-at-home mom, but she still managed to teach Criminal and Constitutional Law classes part time at a community college, to volunteer at school events, and to start a Girl's Bible Club at her church. Janet started writing in the early 1990s and has self-published a novel (twice) and two Christian living books. She started creating online photo books after reading about them in a magazine and has made numerous books for her family and one book commemorating her first church's 100th anniversary. (If you live outside of Arizona, you should know it's a big thing for a church to turn 100 years old in a state that was only 99 at the time!)
Janet recently completed a master's degree in Biblical Studies from Grand Canyon University in hopes of fueling a new start on her writing career. She is active in a local church, loves traveling with her husband and kids (who are both young adults now), and hopes to eventually find time (and inspiration) to write another novel.
