Jan Foster

Jan writes in between being a mum and a small business consultant. Before COVID, she volunteered reading with children in her local school, helping them find the joy and escapism in books. Before that she ran several businesses herself and continues to passionately support small-medium sized enterprises. She loves history and folklore, which has fed into her ‘Naturae’ historical fantasy series of novels. Real life heroines and heroes always inspire her (in that order), which is why she offers readers a blend of fiction laced with reality. Only slightly obsessed with Vikings and Tudors, Jan thoroughly enjoys research trips and burying her head in books to flesh out the details of these time periods in her novels. That’s her excuse and she is sticking to it! Jan (also writing as J.H. Foster for historical fiction) is based in the North West of England and tries to drag her family and dogs out into the wilds or into windswept castles as much as possible - when it’s not raining! Passionate about getting kids active, she writes the Mitch and Mooch series to support children with not only reading and comprehension, but also encouraging them to try out new activities.You can follow what Jan is up to on social media @janfosterauthor or check out her website for more details on publications and other articles or short stories written by her www.escapeintoatale.com
