A PhD/English Lit dropout from the University of Rochester, Janet deserted academia in favor of several years of wide-eyed adventure in Mexico and France with hubby #1 – such good material!—before returning to metro NYC. She pursued joint careers in human resources and freelance journalism. Her fiction and poetry have appeared in When Women Waken, Writing Tomorrow, Minerva Rising and other literary journals. Silver Lining Press brought out her non-fiction book, I Need a Job, Now What? in 2001. Her comic novel, Dream Job, Wacky Adventures of an HR Manager debuted in March 2016.

"Garber's done it again, her writing sparkles. This book is not limited to just those in Human Resources, this is a good read for anyone who wants to pick up an entertaining read. Written by an insider who really knows the HR world, Ms. Garber brings great insight, wit and humor. Under, her well-honed writing skills, the characters spring off the pages.I found that as I was reading, I was pausing, to consider which actors could fit the roles of these engaging characters.There's suspense, genuine caring for the main character, romance, and some laugh out loud humor too ! The book is a great idea for when it comes to gifting friends in the office and in your social network. I enjoyed it, and plan to encourage others to grab a copy also."
