Janet Hunt

I have loved writing since I was a child and wrote my first poem at the age of seven. In 2010, I received my business administration degree. I am a licensed property and casualty insurance agent and have worked in the insurance industry for over 15 years. For several years, I have written on various finance and business topics for a number of online publications and deciding to turn my talents to book format. The things I enjoy most in life are a tranquil outdoor setting, enjoying the simple things in life, and spending time with my children and family.

Acknowledgments

You can never do what you never try; and so I found the inspiration to follow my dreams and write this book. My inspiration comes by way of my wonderful parents, other family members, boyfriend, friends too many to name; and my children, who give me a reason each day to keep on keeping on. To God, who instills within my heart to desire to always do my best. To all the above, thank you for giving me the strength and courage to always pursue my dreams.
