Janalyn Voigt's father instilled a love of literature in her at an early age by reading chapters from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Robinson Crusoe and other classics as bedtime stories. When she grew older and her father stopped reading stories at night, she continued putting herself to sleep with tales she 'wrote' in her head. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Janalyn became a voracious reader, something she credits with teaching her to write. She trained as a classical vocalist, which explains why her writing is often described as musical. She served as a literary judge for several national contests. Her memberships include American Christian Fiction Writers and Northwest Christian Writers. Janalyn is represented by Wordserve Literary. When she's not immersed in one of her story worlds, Janalyn can usually be found weeding the garden, spending time with her family, or singing in the worship team at church.
