HOMER HICKAM BLURB for my book, DUCK AND COVER

"Duck and Cover is a charming novel of young people coming of age during a very frightening time, the early 1960's at the height of the Cold War. Set in West Virginia,Smart's characters are as real as the hills in which they live, and as enduring. I thoroughly enjoyed the story and believe this author is one to watch (and read) now and in the future." –

Homer Hickam, author Rocket Boys/October Sky and Carrying Albert Home

About Me

Janet,: I've lived in rural West Virginia all my life and I love it. West Virginia is a beautiful and friendly state that everyone should visit at least once in their life. I am a mother to 3 wonderful sons. I love to write children's books. I've had a short story published in an anthology, 5 poems published and a MG (Duck and Cover) published. I have also published a cookbook, and three other books for children. My most recent book is a novel titled, Where the Stars Grant Wishes that takes place in 1908. I used to write a column for children in the regional magazine called Two-Lane Livin'. Please feel free to join in on the fun and leave a comment or two.
