Janette Taylor
When Janette was 10 years old, her ambition was to live in a cottage on a Cornish cliff and write books. Everyone told her that was silly, so she gained a BSc in biochemistry before training as a teacher, but she always had a head full of stories. She gave up full-time teaching to return to her dream of writing fiction. There is still no sign of the Cornish cottage. Janette loves green open spaces and is deeply concerned about environmental issues. She enjoys harnessing the natural benefits of plants to make cosmetics and walking in the countryside with her husband and her Tibetan Terrier, Bella.
Third Child

In a world with tight population controls, illegal third children like Lily live restricted lives. When other third children disappear, Lily must escape from her eco-city and venture through the unpopulated wilderness to find the escaped community. Toby, a legal third child, longs to get away from his bullying father. When two third children escape from the city, he jumps at the chance to lead the mission to recapture them and find the illegal group hidden in the wilderness. As Toby tracks Lily, he is torn between his duty to the city and his own desire for freedom. Will he choose to capture the outlaws or join them?
