Janet Brown is a former bookseller who lives in Seattle and travels to Asia whenever she can. Born in Manhattan and brought up in Alaska, she tends to be attracted to extremes. She hates bad coffee, bedbugs, and writing her own marketing material.
"In Almost Home, Janet Brown writes with the affability of a wise
local who's delighted to stroll with you through her Asian city
streets and wryly point out all the things you wouldn't have
noticed if you'd gone on your own. That's what travel writing is
all about."--Colin Cotterill, author of The Coroner's Lunch,
Grandad There's a Head on the Beach, and The Woman Who Wouldn't
Die
"Janet's talent as a traveler is to immerse herself without
reservation or motive in the experience, and her talent as a writer
is to convey that experience without a filter. Not for her wieldy
paragraphs expounding on the social significance of this or her own
emotions regarding that. Instead, you open the page and you are,
simply, wonderfully, there."--Kim Fay, author of Map of Lost
Memories
