Hi! I’m Janice—creator of whimsical, wise, and slightly ridiculous stories about owls with anxiety, crabs with control issues, and butterflies with identity crises. I write tales that make kids giggle and grown-ups say, “Wait… was that about me?”

Each tale is rooted in timeless wisdom and a deep reverence for the natural world, blending myth, magic, and meaning — because life is too short not to believe in talking crabs and cosmic nudges.

Writing and illustrating these books is my heart’s calling, but it’s also a leap of faith. I’ve stepped away from traditional work— all in service of creating magical books that uplift, delight, and sneak a little wisdom into your heart when you’re not looking.

Buying me a coffee, not only helps keep the stories flowing, and the lights on — you’re fueling a movement of light, laughter, and deep truth wrapped in whimsy.

Your support —no matter how small — is a ripple of encouragement that means the world to me. You’re not just a backer, you’re a co-dreamer, walking beside me as these stories bloom into the world.

Thanks for keeping the dream (and the coffee) flowing!
