Janet Gallant

Janet Gallant is the mother of two grown daughters. After thirty years in Calgary where she worked as an office administrator, most recently in the renewable energy sector, she relocated to Lake Country, BC, where she has a home business making wigs for alopecia and cancer patients. Despite insisting that she isn't a writer, she met established poet Sharon Thesen one evening during a wildfire in the area of their neighbourhood and, in telling Thesen her life story, co-wrote her first book, The Wig-Maker.
