About

Jan Tilley was born 1964 in Akron, Ohio. Jan has held a wide array of jobs throughout the years, including newspaper reporter, veterinary assistant, Public Information Officer for Emergency Management, and currently works as secretary/treasurer for a local elementary school. But, her most important job has been raising her two daughters, Sara and Brooke. She has been married to her high school sweetheart, Kevin since 1985. 

Jan wrote her first novel "Coming About" after her oldest daughter went off to college. She began writing about her feelings over the loss of her child to the big bad world. It began as a purging of emotions but as they always do, the characters came alive and took the story down a totally different path that she never expected. 

She then got bitten by the bug and is now admittedly obsessed with writing. She released her second novel "Embody" to rave reviews and followed it with "Rogue's Hollow." She is now an award-winning author who speaks at conferences and is more than happy to accommodate interviews. 

She will continue to write her heart out and do her best to entertain you for as long as you'll welcome her into your lives! If you would like to contact Jan you can reach her at contactjantilley@yahoo.com or follow her on twitter @tilleytalk

You will very quickly feel that you know her, and will be richer for the knowledge. </span></p><div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;height:auto;"><div>She comes to Israel, seeking meaning and purpose for her life, following breast cancer and the demise of her long-standing marriage. There, God claims her and lays a trail of miracles that lead her from her native England to a new husband of faith in Atlantic Canada. <br />Though she is upfront about her ending, you’ll find yourself longing to learn the next step in her discovery of new love and deeper faith journey. This is one of those books you just can’t put down. Potentially, you’ll be following the twists and turns of her journey into the wee small hours. <br />‘A mysterious rug with a life-changing message, a Ruth-type love story, fascinating interactions with other believers, poetic descriptions of landscapes many native Canadians take for granted—and a message of God’s love and salvation,’ writes critic Margaret Welwood. ‘Bobbie Ann Cole’s story is a little too strange and untidy to be fiction. As a true story, it will leave you satisfied, yet wanting to know more.’ <br />‘Often times, life will take us to the end of our rope, leaving us helpless and at our wit’s end. Yet, even in such dire situations, our God is not helpless. He will bring in plentiful harvest – a harvest of renewal, hope, joy and happiness in our life,’ says Khamneithang Vaiphei. ‘She Does Not Fear the Snow is an incredible testimony that will have a profound impact on you.’ <br />If mystery, romance, women’s faith issues, the Jewish roots of Christianity, Christian living or outreach appeal to you, you will find much to enjoy.</div><div> </div></div>

Story Behind The Book

Rogue's Hollow is a small town in northern Ohio near where I grew up. My friends and I would go there on the weekends and get scared. The places mentioned in the book, ie: Cry Baby Bridge and the house that drips blood are actual places in Rogue's Hollow. The old Chidester Mill is still standing.
