Janine M. Donoho

Writer of those
things you
glimpse from the
corner of your
eyes — wolves,
fractals, selkies,
hedgewitches,
runes & dragons.

Award-winning author Janine Donoho, who also writes under pseudonyms Jessie Jayne Smith and J. M. Donoho, cannot resist building new worlds. With one foot firmly planted in fuzzy science and the other in fantastic realms, she inhabits WHAT IF. Published in scientific fields as well as fiction, Janine continues to pursue the thuds that echo in the night and write about those, too.

Writing as Jesse Jayne Smith, her contemporary women’s fiction novel, WILDFIRE, tied for first in Stella Cameron’s contest at the Pacific Northwest Writers’ Conference. With short stories published in  magazines such as FANTASY, FOLKLORE AND FAIRYTALES and LEGIONS OF LIGHT, Donoho consistently listens to her muses. As a biologist and an ardent conservationist involved with sustainable living and Master Gardeners, she still finds time for invitational readings with her writer friends.

With her indefatigable husband, sight hounds and tuxedo cat, she makes her home in the spectacular highlands of Okanogan County in eastern Washington State. There, Donoho writes daily, teaches dance, putters in her garden and ponders the underpinnings of life.
