A Bohemian Southern Belle, that's me! Janet Hogan Chapman, Ed.D. Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, I love all things Southern. My alter ego is GeorgiaJanet, and you can learn more about me on my website: www.georgiajanet.com. Please note I am NOT the romance writer Janet Chapman..

I have worn many professional and personal hats but through it all I have been a WRITER, publishing everything from professional educational materials to essays, to poetry, to novels, and one memoir. The novels and novella are not a series but there is a character thread that carries through all of them.

Madam May, historical fiction, is based on true events in the life of my grandmother in early 1900s Atlanta. Morphine, moonshine, madams, and murder are just a few of the problems she encountered. She was willing to do whatever it took to become an independent woman of means, and she did just that!

After Madam May, a short novella, tells what happened to May after those turbulent times, and bridges the gap to my next novel.

Dorothy May, another real-life character was an enigma. Raised as the daughter of Madam May, she is an even more complex character than her supposed mother. Her life was tragic in many ways, yet her story is enduring and full of hope. You will be enthralled with this literary exploration based on true events in the life of an amazingly strong woman.

MOTHERLOVE is another novel based on true events. There is a character connection to Dorothy May. Louann Walker struggles to discover why her own mother can't stand the sight of her. In the process she learns dark family secrets and eventually comes to understand the essence of true motherlove.

This Teacher Talks is a memoir about school cultures. It is based on qualitative research carried out for my doctoral dissertation.

I enjoy reading, travel, spending time with family and friends, and genealogy research. My stories are inspired by real life events. As the saying goes - truth is sometimes stranger than fiction, especially in the South!

Joseph C. Fishback
5.0 out of 5 stars A must-read!
Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2019
Well written account of a young girl, so blinded by her deep emotional feelings of abandonment, that she failed to see the exceptional love that actually surrounded her. This is the sad catalyst for a life spent searching for what she already possessed.
