About Janyre

All the Beautiful,
all the Ugly, all the Me.

Portrait of Janyre Tromp

My name is Janyre Tromp. In case we get to meet in person some day, you pronounce that first name Jan-ear.

I'm a developmental editor by day and a writer at night. And that all happens from my kitchen table when I'm not hanging out with my husband, two kids, two troublesome kitties, and slightly eccentric Shetland Sheepdog. Unfortunately, I spilled coffee on my super cape, and then the dryer ate it. So you'll just have to imagine I can do it all!

I'm the best-selling and award-winning author of deeply researched historical suspense novels with a healthy dose of myth and legend and a dash of romance.

But my passion is writing about the beauty of the world—past and present—even when it isn't pretty.

After all, isn't it the beauty in the world that gets us through the day?

Hopefully after you hang out with me for a bit, we'll be able to see things a little more clearly, find a little bit of meaning, and make a bigger impact. Science shows the huge impact of stories. They allow us to explore some of life's most difficult issues in the relatively safe space of story.
