In September 2002 Janice founded a women's storytelling group called Women's
Imaginative Guild of Storytellers (WIGS). For the last five years WIGS presented
successful STORY FAIRS at Callanwolde Fine Arts Center.

Janice belongs to The Southern Order of Storytellers, a Georgia-based storytelling organization,

Wit, Grit and Mouse Mattresses (Rights of Passage)
From a young girl's humorous initiation into womanhood, to the cleverness of a young wife, and the wisdom of age, these stories will make you glad you're a woman.
