If Janice Marie Cook isn't writing or working on an artistic project, she can be found curling up with a good book. The graduate of Manhattanville College is also an accomplished pianist, who has worked on many musicals in Europe and the United States. She is certified in the Suzuki method of Music Education, and enjoys teaching children, who she believes all possess special gifts. Cook lives in Rhode Island with her family and beloved dog, Beau.
