Bright Echoes

Jan left school at fourteen, married young, producing five spectacular offspring before hearing the siren call of the feminist revolution, at which time she abandoned the kitchen (but not the children!) and headed for the lecture theatre, graduating from Macquarie University with Honours in Political Science and English Literature. She worked as a political speech writer and stood for a State seat before establishing her own PR consultancy. In more recent times she made her mark as a controversial panellist on the popular daytime TV show, Beauty & the Beast. These days she claims to do more writing than talking. Jan, a sailor, a dreamer, a happy Nonna to fourteen grandchildren lives a secluded life in an offshore community, below an escarpment and below the poverty line, claiming it's a glorious writing life!
