I’m thrilled to be interviewing Janeen Brian on my blog today.
Welcome, Janeen.
Thanks for inviting me to be interviewed, Renee. It’s lovely to be part of Books for Little Hands.
When did you first know that you wanted to be an author?
I didn’t really ever consciously decide to be a writer. I always like reading, but when I was teaching, a friend said she was going to a weekend writing workshop and would I like to come. I agreed and was surprised by how much I liked it. I’d only written little poems for my young daughters and as gifts for friends and family before that. It was only after many books were published, that I began to consider myself an author, but I think when I left teaching in 1990 to become a fulltime writer, that I felt comfortable announcing it to people and writing it on documents!

Wonderful to hear Janeen's story. Where Does Thursday Go is a favourite in our house. Some books you never grow out of!
Hi Sandy,
Thanks for your comment.Where does Thursday go? is a favourite picture book for us too. Janine has written so many genres. She's such an inspiration!
Loved this interview with Janeen, although I know her work well, there were a few things that enriched my knowledge- such a diversity of writing- well done!
