"A fascinating autobiography that takes the reader behind the scenes of a life well-lived as an author and freelance writer. Full of personal anecdotes and insights; rich in drive and passion."
-Helen Errington, writer and editor "Running through both success and adversity, the thread connecting Jan Yager's many adventures and multiple careers is writing: writing as a career (she's written more than 50 books!), writing as therapy, and most of all--like so many of us writers--writing because she can't NOT write! Jan is also a model of aging creatively, full of future writing projects she'd like to do through her 70s and into her 80s, as well as advice to nascent writers"
--Shel Horowitz, author, Grassroots Marketing, and book shepherd
