Author: Janis Masyk-Jackson

Janis began writing at age ten for newspapers in the San Francisco Bay Area and later contributed to online platforms like HubPages, Squidoo, Suite101, and Zujava. After a break, she’s returned to doing what she loves most—writing. Family is her greatest passion. She’s a mom of four grown children and shares her life with beloved furry companions. She enjoys traveling, decorating, planning themed parties, and anything Disney. A sci-fi fan and former historical society board member, she also has a soft spot for trivia. At YourPetsAtHome.com, Janis brings together her writing experience and her love for pets and home life.
