JANET KITTO is an indie author who grew up on the south shore of Vancouver Island in the Pacific Northwest, and now lives on the east coast of Atlantic Canada.  

Janet grew up in the rural area of Goldstream, BC. Forest giants protected her, trunks rough and warm, full of bird song, and the carpets of wildflowers, pine needles and leaves softened her world. One day a bookmobile stopped in front of her, opened its door, and beckoned her inside. The gift of that first library card changed Janet’s life.

A Life Less Burdened

Thanks for sharing both the ups and the downs, Janet and Jamie. I love it that you've painted a realistic portrait of what big life changes and life in an RV are like.


5.0 out of 5 stars

 Elegant and informative

I'm a wanna-be writer on the road! This book (9 Things Career Authors Don’t Do: A Creative Life on the Road) offered so much great advice and the perspective of someone who's been there. I have so much to consider and much to do before I run away from home.

The writer's style is very easy to read and relatable with a touch of poetic soulfulness to it.


Thanks for sharing your adventure.
