I was born in Maine and became a lover of nature at a very young age.  When I was 17 years old, I entered college to become a nurse.  I received my degree in Biology and Health Education at California State University at Northridge.  I was a K-2 Teacher for the State of California for 22 years, and continued my nursing on week-ends.

I married my college friend-and-love, Bob and we have two girls and 6 grandchildren and one great grandson.

I have always loved writing and photography.  I first had a photocard business in Las Vegas and then in 2007, I put together my first story about a little squirrel called Marigold.  I illustrated this story with my photographs.

I found a publisher who would do the book for me and also set up my web site and publishing company.  After Marigold, I wrote and published Pellina, a story about a pelican and then Manny, a story about a yellow-bellied-marmot.

My goal is to have 10 books and I am now working on a book about a Road Runner called Rudy.  Each book has a lesson to learn, and this book is about eating the right foods.

Pellina the Pelican by Janice M Lease
On a winter visit to Daytona Beach in Florida, I walked the beach and was surprised to find Pelicans quietly resting in the sun. They were very relaxed and let you walk right up to them. While I was photographing a beautifully groomed Pelican, a small seagull walked up and stood beside the pelican. He never left. He just kept walking around as if he enjoyed being the object of my excitement and pi...
