Janet Graber

Janet Graber was born in the middle of WWII in Northern England. She traveled widely, ended up in the United States, married, raised a family, and eventually followed her dream of writing stories.

After publishing picture books and novels for teens, honors followed, including a McKnight Artist Fellowship in Children's Literature, The Association of Educational Publishers Distinguished Achievement Award, and A Junior Library Guild Selection. She was also a Minnesota Book Award Finalist in the Young Adult Category. She teaches occasionally at the Loft Literary Center in Minneapolis, and mentors writers in her home.

The Sting of Love is her first novel written for an adult audience. Janet lives in Minnesota, cherishes log fires, green trees, reading in bed, drifting snow, tea at three o'clock with ginger trifle, and the company of good friends and family.
