IT'S HERE!
This is the true story of how one woman reclaimed happiness
on her own terms.
In her mid-forties, Jan found herself at a crossroads when her orderly life veered off course. A devastating divorce and a sudden death in the family made her realize it was time to make her dreams of road-tripping around the USA come true, even if she had to go alone.
Part memoir, part travel guide, and part inspirational push, this book is a celebration of traveling, writing, and courage.

BOOKWORMS ANONYMOUS
Top Seller
Part memoir, part cookbook, and part informational guide, Bookworms Anonymous by Jan Stafford Kellis describes the author’s experiences with her unique book club in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Kellis reveals a nontraditional club in 8 sample meetings, where readers buy only the books they want and take the time they need to read them. Their “read, eat, meet, repeat” structure bonds the members, creating a community extending well beyond the literary world. Kellis offers Book Handling Commandments (do not dog-ear pages) and lively instructions on how to establish your own book club. Filled with personal anecdotes, book reviews, menus, and over twenty recipes, Bookworms Anonymous is designed for anyone who loves to read and wants to enhance the experience.
