Book Description
The author of this book reveals dark secrets and let’s you into her heart and soul as she candidly shares her therapeutic writing journey. Writing that gradually reveals details of cumulative traumatic events that began when Janie was a small, unwanted child. You will see how her poetry, written by left and right brain communication, gave voice to a silenced child and tells a story like prose could never do.

Inside you will find writing samples, charts as well as therapeutic poetry that can be used to stimulate expressive/therapeutic writing in yourself or in others. Readers will benefit from the real depth of understanding an injured mind and yet enjoy the simplicity of the uncluttered information in Janie’s book.

The Author, Janie Lancaster, grew up in Middletown, New York. She now lives in southern California with her husband Don—her blue-eyed childhood sweetheart. Janie is known for her creation of believable characters in her published works. She writes for a variety of age groups and loves to visit schools and libraries to talk to kids about creative writing.
Janie found help through expressive/therapeutic writing. Writing that had the power to change the unchangeable, move the unmovable and cure the uncurable. Even if it is only through a letter, a poem, keeping a journal or by writing stories. She worked through flashbacks and traumas and listened to the voice of her silenced child. Her journey of expressive/therapeutic writing helped her to discover and strengthen her identity. The identity of the right-brained creative person she was meant to be. Now a voice that was once silenced sails through time and space in the written word through her written works, including her new book "When Silence Reigns.
This book was written to help others to use expressive/therapeutic writing as a tool to help develop a deeper understanding of their true-selves.
