I had to come up with a short version of my bio for a panel some other writers and I are proposing. I wound up with the following–slanted to reflect the panel topic, but I kind of like it:
Janni Lee Simner writes about ghosts, magic, buried treasure, and real life, sometimes at the same time. Her fifth middle grade novel, a mystery, will be published in 2005; she’s also published three fantasy novels, one romance novel, and nearly three dozen short stories.
