Craft
I've given talks at the PNWA, Write on the Sound & Whatcom Writers & Publishers on writing, researching historical fiction; 2 years Washington Humanities Speaker on the CCC. Zoom talks on Norway in WWII for Sons and Daughters of Norway and WW2TV.
Janet Oakley, writing as JL Oakley, writes historical fiction that spans the mid-19th century to WW II. Her characters, who come from all walks of life, stand up for something in their own time and place. Her award-winning thrillers set in Norway during and after WWII are based on personal interviews and visits to museums in Trondheim, Norway. Though she has lived in the Pacific NW for many years, she has also lived in Hawaii, Washington DC, and Pittsburgh, PA. She has been a guide at Mission Houses in Honolulu, a museum educator at a small NW county museum, and a Humanities Washington speaker on the Civilian Conservation Corps. When not writing, Janet loves to garden, weave, and demonstrate 19th century folkways. She can churn some pretty mean butter.
