Meet the Author
Janet Go began writing at an early age. Her first article was published in the Sunday Washington (D.C.) Star when she was 11. She contributed to the Washington newspaper and worked on a weekly newspaper during high school in Hyattsville, Maryland. At age 17, she entered the University of Colorado, Boulder, where she studied journalism, creative writing, and geography.
After college, she worked for various U.S. Civil Service agencies in California, Hawaii, and the Western Pacific island of Guam. During 13 years on Guam, she was a reporter, columnist, and feature writer on two daily newspapers, editor of a monthly U.S. Navy newsletter, editor of a weekly TV magazine, and wrote
Micronesia’s first tourist guidebook. Back on the U.S. mainland, she was an editor for the Naval Reservist News in New Orleans and a technical writer/editor for the U.S. Air Force and Navy in Florida and California.
Upon retiring in 1991, Janet moved to Fraser, Colorado, where she published her first book about Guam in 1998. Since then, she has written three novels, including one about the murder of her best friend in New Orleans and another about a romance between former college 
sweethearts in the Rocky Mountains. Her book, Don’t Miss the Boat, Cruising Through the Leisure Years, co-authored with Perry McGinnis and published in 2007, describes their four-month cruise around the world on the Queen Elizabeth 2.
Throughout the years, Janet’s freelance travel articles have appeared in magazines and newspapers across the country.
