Janice Beetle

My mind is full of book ideas, and I work to bring them to life as I am able. My first memoir, Divine Renovations: A Carpenter, His Soul Mate, and Their Story of Love and Loss, was published by Off The Common Books in Amherst, Massachusetts, in 2012. I have a second memoir, Willful Evolution: Because healing the heart takes strength, coming soon, and my first work of fiction is in the works.

In addition to developing my own books, I help people to bring their book idea to the book shelf—and the book store through Janice Beetle Books. My work is helping people with a story in their hearts and minds. I also bring my 15-year career reporter background to my work in my PR business, Beetle Press, through which I craft press releases and marketing pieces for organization leaders that translate into news stories and on-air time in media.

I live life to the fullest. I take time to travel and spend time in warm places in the winter months. I boat and kayak in the summer, and play with my grandchildren, enjoy my daughters, and read and relax all year long.
