Author Janet Gurtler

Hello! I'm Janet Gurtler aka Janet MacLeod. I'm the author of seven young adult books, a series for mid grade readers called Mermaid Kingdom and a plethora of non fiction books and articles. 

​

A Rita Award Finalist, for I'M NOT HER, my young adult books have been chosen for the Junior Literary Guild Selection and as Best Books for Teens from the Canadian Children’s Book Center.

I live in Alberta, Canada, with, Betty White, my beautiful golden retriever who likes to watch dogs on TV, and take me for a daily romp. 

​

I've got a new book coming out in 2027 (more details to come!) and I'm working on a new women's fiction novel !
