Mark and Janice talk about: Being of the generation that spent their entire summer days outside and not-connected to anything except friends and the world around themThe old school-style desk Janice had when she was young and starting to write which was shoved up against a window that looked out on the oceanTelling herself fictional stories to amuse herself when she was youngThe ocean being one of the single biggest factors on Janice's creative lifeThe importance of Janice's 2022 book EYE OF THE OCEANWhy it's priceless that we create and share Canadian storiesHow so much of what we do is about all of the people who help us in our achievements and why it's one of the core messages in Janice's latest bookThe dramatically debilitating side-effects of Lyme diseaseWhy small acts of kindness and sharing uplifting and positive stories is so importantThe tiny thing (a tick) that ended up inspiring Janice to write the book EVERY LITTLE THINGImportance messages of hope and that you're not alone, which come from the bookA very special note that a teacher gave to Janice when she was 10 years old, and why she carried it around for fifty yearsAdvice Janice would offer to beginning writersAnd more . . . After the interview Mark reflects on three different things that came up in the discussion.

In March 2025, Halifax West MP Lena Metlege Diab presented Janice with the King Charles III Coronation Medal from the Government of Canada for her body of work, books, and longtime mental health advocacy. Janice is a veteran journalist and proud Haligonian. In May 2025, she released her seventh book, Every Little Thing – how small acts of kindness make a big impact, following her 2023 Lyme disease diagnosis. Janice has since fully recovered and wrote this “small book with big messages” to thank society’s many and varied helpers, including some of her own. Janice’s longtime publisher is Nova Scotia’s Pottersfield Press. Her last two books, Eye of the Ocean and Silver Linings, were both bestsellers. Janice’s biggest inspiration is her family, husband, Rob, and daughter, Laura. Through her writing, she also honours her late parents, Baz and Theresa. Janice began writing longform non-fiction to tell the gripping story of her firefighter father’s national Medal of Bravery for his part in the near-death rescue of an infant from a harrowing 1978 Halifax house fire.
