Prescription For Love Print Add to Cart $14.94 Download Add to Cart $4.50 The position as patient care
coordinator is single mother
Ginny Barr's dream come true,
allowing her to raise her
daughter and young niece
in the suburbs instead of
the inner city.
When the Chief of Orthopedics,
and her greatest supporter,
has a heart attack, his son,
Blake Marshall joins the
practice. Blake wants Ginny
in his bed and pursues her.
Though attracted to him,
Ginny recalls his arrogance
at a meeting several
years earlier when he dismissed
her judgment about a patient.
Blake is faced with convincing
Ginny of his love.
PRESCRIPTION FOR LOVE is
a medical romance that
depicts hospitals and the
people staffing them, who
face crises with aplomb.
Ginny is a sympathetic heroine
and Blake is delicious.
Ms. Walters knows young
children and draws them
with a true pen, adding
fun to the courtship.
I recommend anyone wanting
a fun and engrossing
story to pick up this book.~~

This contemporary medical
romance had all the elements
it takes to make a good book.
There was conflict,
misunderstanding and most
especially love, lots of love.
Ginny Barr had a hard life
but she is bound and
determined to climb out
of the gutter and make
something of herself, even
when she found out she was
pregnant by the man she
loved whom she found out
already had a wife and
children.
Then her brother Joey dropped
his two month old bi-racial
daughter off for just a
couple of weeks that turned
out to be two years and
counting. Now Ginny has a good
job, has just moved not
only her family but her best
friend and her mother out
of the city to a nice duplex.
The only problem is she
is having problems at work
with a nurse who wants her
job. Then Dr. Marshall's
adopted son Blake shows up.
He's everything she could
want in a man but he only
wants an affair. Ginny wants
more for her and her girls.
Blake misconstrues several
things and doesn't know how
to admit he's wrong but Ginny
and her girls will straighten
him out. Now if only they
could make him admit that
he loves them all and doesn't
want to let them go. I
thoroughly enjoyed this
book and zipped through
it in no time to a most
satisfying ending. Kathy's

An exclusive interview with Janet Lane Walters
Where do you live?
Nyack, NY 10960
Where can fans write to you?
ShadyL717@aol.com
What inspired you to write your books?
I've always been a reader and writing my own stories seemed natural. PRESCRIPTION FOR LOVE was written for my youngest daughter who is an adopted bi-racial child. WHISPERS OUT OF YESTERYEAR was partially based on a strange experience that happened during a day trip with my dad and my children.
What's your day as a writer like?
I'm one of those fortunate people who has all day to write, yet I don't spend eight hours at the computer. I do all my rough drafts on the computer and then the follow up drafts in pen and ink. Since I belong to two critique groups that meet every two weeks, there's time out for these. I try to write at least ten pages a day and sometimes do much more.
Tell us about your family.
I'm married to a psychiatrist who keeps me grounded when I flip into the worlds I create. I've four grown children, two sons and two daughters. They're scattered from New York to Florida. There are four grandchildren who are my special loves. Alas they live in Florida so I don't see them as often as I'd like.
Do you have any pets?
No pets now. I had a Maine Coon cat named Robespierre that my boys found in the wire rim of my car one morning and brought to me. He became my familiar and spent the first few weeks with us on my shoulder with his nose in my hair.
What are your hobbies?
Housework is my hobby since that's what one does in their spare time. I also love to read. I've also done and still do horoscopes for friends.
What do you enjoy doing for leisure?
Going out to dinner is always a plus. I watch a bit of TV and love to visit with friends.
Who's your favorite author?
I can't pick one as a favorite.
What's your favorite book?
Probably Anna Karenina since I read it for a book report in third grade and was nearly suspended from school for attempting to change the ending.
What kind of music do you enjoy?
Classical
What is your favorite place?
The village where I live since it's an eclectic place with hordes of antique shops and other neat places.
What place, that you haven't already visited, would you like to visit?
Spain
