She's been through the trenches, but she's not alone. After trying different publishers, some good, some not so good,
some good to start with and then going awry, she finally caved in to the pleas of her long-time friend, Kristie Leigh Maguire,
who had been after her to join forces with Star* Publish since its inception in 2004.
Now, she is swinging on a Star--a Star* book, that is. All 14 of her novels have been
reborn as Shooting Star* books, as well as some new ones. This site is designed to
make it easy for all of her devoted, loyal fans to see at a glance what each book is all about.
So relax, get ready for a fun trip, and wish upon a star...anything can happen!

It's often true that bigger isn't always better. This is true with bookstores too. Some of the friendliest people in the business
are those who run independent bookstores. To locate one of these stores near you, please click on the BookSense logo and pay
them a visit to see if they have a Janet Elaine Smith book. If they don't, ask them to order a copy for you, then politely
suggest that they put a couple of copies on their shelves so you can send your friends there to get their copies too. And
on behalf of both the independent booksellers and Janet Elaine Smith, thank you!

Publish has stepped up to the next level and they are now available in print to make it easier for you to keep them handy
while you market yourself to Stardom!

Janet Elaine Smith shares her easy-to-follow secrets to what has worked for her. As Kristie Leigh Maguire said about Janet's
PromoPaks, "These were so simple I could have thought of them—but I didn't." Rusty Fischer, marketing guru, said,
"These are great! I've been doing this full-time for 3 years now and didn't think there was any room to improve but you've
shown me the error in my ways. The dual paks on bookstores, both indies and biggies, was invaluable, as was the info on how
to contact, and where, your local and national newspapers. What a wealth of information for not only the beginning book promotor,
but a seasoned pro like myself! Thanks for the opportunity to read this wonderful material. Both myself and my clients will
benefit from the no doubt intensive and resourceful research you've conducted on our behalf!" (For more info. on Rusty

MAX STRYKER'S BACK IN TOWN!
CAN TROUBLE BE FAR BEHIND?
ALL NEW MYSTERY SERIES FROM JANET ELAINE SMITH
After more than a year of silence, JES is back in business! Yes, with
Max Stryker Mysteries making their debut, she will once again tickle your funnybone, make you ponder whodunit, and send you
over the wall with a whole new bevy of characters you will swear you know.
Below is a bit about Max Stryker's first
mystery: Bank Roll. For more about her and what other mischief she's headed for, click on the cover of the book.
The Day Max Stryker Hit Town--Again!
It started out like any other day for Max (Maxine, but only to her mother) Stryker,
a crime reporter for the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
Then the news broke. She was listening to the morning news on TV as she rushed
to get to work when they announced that the Knight Ridder chain of newspapers had been sold.
When she arrived at the office, the buzz was that their newspaper was going
to go on the auction block, and a lot of the workers would be getting pink slips within days, maybe even hours.
With
her notice in front of her, Max called her mother and told her that she was going to be forced to do what she had vowed would
never happen: she was going home! Home to Willow Creek, Minnesota, where nothing exciting ever happened--until Max hit town
again, just in time to hear that the bank president had been kidnapped!
