Today’s Fast Five guest is author Janet Tessier!

1. Tell us a little about yourself.

Almost 70, F, writing since I was able to spell, never published anything for money, some stuff on Medium, poet, struggling to write prose, recovering alkie (30 yrs.), recovering beeyotch, I can speak loudly and authoritatively and have done, survivor of long-term mental illness, surpisingly rational despite my family of origin, keeper of pocket puppies (AKA: rats), unafraid, ready to change at a moment's notice when necessary.

2. What do you have out there now that readers can enjoy?

Coping with physical pain; struggling with bureacracies; fear.

4. How have you been using your voice to make the world a better place?

Since I was a teen.
