About the Author

Janet Hudon Hartman Janet makes her home in the National Historic District of Pawtuxet Village in Warwick, R.I. where she lives in a c.1770 Colonial period home.

A member of the travel website, WWW.VirtualTourist.com, she writes about her family's explorations and where she has guided many seekers interested in her journeys to Poland. Two books about Pawtuxet Village have been written and published by Janet. Second Nature: Blooming in Pawtuxet Village, where she collaborated with her daughter, Susan; and THE CRANSTON SIDE: Pawtuxet Village National Historic District, which describes the history and architecture of that side of the district and can be used as a walking guide. She is a regular contributor to the local village newspaper, "The Bridge," which she founded in 1986. When she isn't travelling, researching or writing, Janet is an avid gardener with her loyal Australian Shepard, Watson, by her side.
