Interview with Janice Gallen

Published 2014-03-04.
When you're not writing, how do you spend your time?
I have 11 grandchildren and like to visit with them whenever I can. Taking part in Toastmasters meetings, and presenting and writing speeches is a favourite activity. Every day books beckon, but I don't spend anywhere near as much time reading as I'd like to. Once the Rugby league season is underway I'm glued to the TV to watch the Brisbane Broncos. My husband and I are part of a Trivia team, which meets weekly. And just to fill out my remaining time, we regularly enjoy going to the movies .
