Harper, Janis: - Janis Harper is a writer, singer-songwriter, actor, and former adjunct English professor turned expressive arts therapist. Her lifelong passions for the creative arts, philosophy, and metaphysics come together in Jonas and the Mountain-which, although fictional, is the "truest" work she's ever written. Her writing can also be found in journals and anthologies, including two creative nonfiction anthologies that she conceived and edited: Body Breakdowns: Tales of Illness and Recovery and Emails From India: Women Write Home. Music from her original folk-roots album Better This Way is available everywhere. She lives in BC, Canada. For more about Janis Harper, check out her website: janisharper.ca
