Jan Tilley was born and raised in northern Ohio. Enticed by the sea, she later moved to Wilmington, North Carolina and now writes from a cabin nestled in the woods in rural Indiana.
Jan wrote her first novel "Coming About" after her oldest daughter went off to college. It began as a purging of emotions but as they always do, the characters came alive and took the story down an unexpected path..
She was then bitten by the bug and is now admittedly obsessed with writing. Her second novel was a sci-fi endeavor titled "Embody". She was a featured guest on The Kevin Smith Show where she discussed the book in a live two-hour interview to a world-wide audience of over one million people.
"Rogue's Hollow" was her next release which is a suspenseful ride, fictionally based on the like named town near where she grew up.
Next came "Jasper's Gift", which is the highly anticipated sequel to her first novel. Tilley loved revisiting her pals and said it was like going home to visit old friends again.
"I'm Not Listening" is her latest release. Suspense and steamy romance make this a new adult favorite pick.
Tilley is an award-winning author features at multiple conferences and events. More than 100,000 copies of her books have been distributed world-wide.
She will continue doing her best to entertain you for as long as you'll welcome her into your lives! Contact Jan on twitter @tilleytalk or at Jan Tilley & Friends on Facebook.

You've driven through them, those little places way out in the middle of nowhere that are no more than a collection of five or six houses, a store, and a bridge or two. Welcome to Rogue's Hollow, where the old mill used to employ a lot of people, but when it shut down and most people moved out of town, Norma turned the mill into a general store. Now that Malachi has it, he's added a little history section, a guide to all the haunted places around the area, and they do a pretty good business around Halloween. When a turn of events brings young Travis into his store and life, he finds a friend and Travis finds a purpose. Author Jan Tilley gives readers what looks on the surface like a heartwarming story of an old man mentoring a young kid and both of them being better for it. Problem is, there are secrets, deep secrets they both hide, deeper than either of them realized at first.
Rogue's Hollow is the perfect name for the town. The only two people left in town that we meet are Malachi and Roberta and they are not about to move. They are definitely not conforming to the idea of leaving this old forgotten place and moving on. Slowly over time you learn the history of each of the places that are said to be haunted, and some of them are truly haunted if you're willing to be patient. Over time the history of the town and the forefathers is revealed as well, and that is a little different to say the least. Author Jan Tilley writes a wonderful, heartwarming story with dark undertones that you just can't figure out until the last page. It is a great read for anyone, young adult through older adult. This is really going to keep you glued to your chair!
