Janice Dembosky lives with her husband, Everett, on their farm in rural Pennsylvania. Their three children are adults with families of their own, and Janice has retired from her profession as an English teacher. In between (and even during) traveling adventures, she enjoys her favorite pastime -- writing. She has published magazine articles, but The Bond Woman is her first novel.

Ventured into a new Genre

I know I'm not very good at keeping up with Goodreads in general or with this blog in particular. I apologize.

The last time I blogged, the Amish Series was a trilogy. It became a 5-book series, all 5-star books. I thank you for that.

Now I've ventured into historical fiction with Roza: The Runaway. It has been on the backburner of my mind for many years. It was not easy to write because it is based Read more of this blog post »

Janice’s Quotes

“I want to go on living even after my death! And therefore I am grateful to God for this gift, this possibility of developing myself and of writing, of expressing all that is in me. I can shake off everything if I write; my sorrows disappear; my courage is reborn. But, and that is the great question, will I ever be able to write anything great, will I ever become a journalist or a writer?”
― Anne Frank
