Janel Laidman likes hats. She likes them so much, in fact, that she has worn quite a few, sometimes simultaneously. Right now she is wearing her author hat. Janel used to be a biochemist but now she is an entrepreneur, soup chef, knitwear designer and overwhelmed gardener living in the semi-wilds of Oregon. Some days she explores the farmers market and other days she visits sheep. Most days, however, she sits in front of a computer moving pixels around. You can find out a lot more about Janel if you google her.
