Janna Hill – About the Author

Hi. I’m Janna Hill. The Real Janna Hill.

The official biography goes something like: “Janna Hill is an  author of fiction, short stories and poetry. She spent most of her career as a licensed nurse before dabbling behind the literary scenes as a ghostwriter.” Or, Janna resides somewhere between the pines and the palm trees where her motto is, “Fans are just friends and family I haven’t met… or wrote about yet.” ™

The truth is: I am Texas born and bred. I was a licensed nurse,  a wife & a mother before embarking on this journey; happily I am still all of the aforementioned though I no longer triangulate my identity according to those few facts. I can imagine so many more descriptive terms now that might say who or what I am, far too many to mention. But today …

I am a writer. Writing through life one word at a time. ™

Home is where the blog is and photography is a hobby so you will find a lot of pictures hanging on my walls. Follow me home while you’re at it.

There are a few interviews with fellow bloggers if you are interested just click on the excerpts. If the links are dead… sorry.

Ghostwriting served me well for many years, mainly because I lacked self-confidence and courage. When I reached the age of 50, I had an epiphany and I called myself a writer. Getting older has its rewards.

My love – what I really get excited about is creating short stories and flash fiction, most of which lean to the dark side. The challenge of condensing and the ‘less is more’ approach is so appealing to me. Short Stories & Such is the result of that passion. P.S. The Rage Trilogy was abolished and The Clan Destiny Series was born.

What do your fans mean to you?
Everything! Without them there would be no reason to publish. I merely breathe life in to the stories, they are the heart that keeps them alive.
Describe your desk
Organized clutter. A sharp pencil and a spiral notebook to my right with a dozen pink, blue and yellow post-its covering the pages – on top of them are four pairs of reading glasses. To my left there is a cordless phone, a jar of pens and a set of headphones. In front of me there is a calendar and a cup of cold coffee.

…And this  (Oh Lord!) This is me making a goofy introduction. The video was [intentionally] hidden on YouTube for a few years but now I’m thinking… what the heck. #awkward

  2. Janna, THANKS for visiting my “pun-ny” photoblog and leaving a couple of “likes.” You have one one of the most interesting and succinct “About” paragraphs I’ve come across. I love the fact that you are no longer “triangulated.” Since you’ve been to my blog, you know that all of my photos HAVE to tell a story (or they couldn’t be there).

  13. Thank you to your visit to my spiritually centered poetry site and also my future winery in East Texas in a WordPress blog. I am looking forward to sharing with you, with the hope, in my own postings that you will find something of value to you. I too am looking forward to visiting your blog, especially in the water shots, that I in turn enjoy so much in my own lakefront home on Cedar Creek Lake in East Texas. Many blessings in your own journey.
