JaniLou writes because she loves to share God's love through the gift He has given her. She also writes
about her life as a dairy goat farmer, fantasy, science fiction, young adult fiction and romance.
She thanks the wonderful, commercial-free, radio station KNWS Life 101.9 for being a constant source of
support and encouragment through their positive, uplifting Christian music. This listener-supported station
has an awesome ministry, sharing God's love and His message of salvation through Jesus Christ. They are a
true blessing in her life.
She thanks her dear friends; Randy Stonehill, and his precious wife, Sandi, for being there for her, through
a very difficult time in her life, just like Jesus, when she most needed them most. Randy has a new album
coming out! Look for it on his website. Just click on his name above to go there.
Most of all, she thanks God, her wonderful husband Paul, and her precious children for knowing the real
'JaniLou' and still loving her.
Scroll down to find the links to many of her stories. I have linked them to my portfolio on FanStory so you
can see them with the beautiful artwork provided by artists on FanArtReview.com.
Just below is a You-Tube video of Jeremy Camp's Number One, beautiful song; "There Will Be A Day' ~ to
the right, Joel Hansen & Sara Groves with 'Traveling Light.' If you are struggling right now, please listen to
these beautiful songs.
And if you are my lost friend, Lou Jean, please read this. . . and then visit your special page

Welcome! JaniLou is a wife, a mother and grandmother, and God's little girl. She won the
title of 'Short Works Author Of The Year' on FanStory.com in both 2007 and 2008, and
thanks all her wonderful fans there for their support. She has been too busy on the farm this
year to write much, so the title will have to fall to another deserving author in 2009.
She has so many friends she can't count them all -- and they are one of the greatest blessings
in her life, next to God and her family. It still amazes her that people like her that much!
She is imperfect, very fallible, and yet, God still keeps loving her. Amazing love, that is. He
loves you, too, just as much. Yes, you. Never doubt that.
