Jana Beth Hart
Blogger
I began blogging in October 2018 because I wanted to find my voice. I had recently come out as transgender at my office and to my family, and I realized that I wanted to share my experiences with others like me. I wanted to help those that would come after me have an easier time in their journey, even if all I could offer them was my example and encouragement.
I realized I had much more to talk about than just trans life and issues. I wanted to discuss philosophy, politics, rights, and my own path through life. For me, blogging is not so much for what I feel inside—that’s more for my poetry—instead, it’s for how I feel about the world around me. Hopefully, my viewpoints will aid others, or at the very least, spark some sort of dialog or thought on the subjects I touch upon.

Blogger - Writer - Poet - Gamer
Jana is a multi-faceted woman of many talents.
She has been writing software for over 25 years, where recently she has been focusing on mobile applications, including connected devices and IoT.
She has quite the penchant for the written word, in both poetry and prose. She has written dozens of poems, several short stories, and is currently working on her first trilogy.
As part of her writing, Jana has a blog where she talks about her journey as a trans woman, and the unique challenges presented to the LGBTQ+ community.
Ultimately, Jana is a storyteller, and she does that best while running a table top roleplaying game. Cooperative storytelling is her favorite hobby, and gaming lends to that quite nicely.
Writer
I discovered my love for writing fiction a few years back. I’ve loved being a storyteller, but I didn’t realize how much I would enjoy writing until recently. Since then, I’ve been writing at a modest pace. Unfortunately, I can not devote as much time as I would like to my writing, so I get my word count in when I’m able. I’ve started two full novels and one trilogy. I’ve completed several short stories, and I’m working on a few more.
I’ve recently discovered the joys of micro fiction and flash fiction, and I am completely enamored with it. I don’t think I’ve quite gotten it down as well as I do short stories, but I’m getting there. One of my forays seems successful, at least. Though, the others might be a bit lacking. I shall let you decide.
i tend to base my fiction in the multiverse I have created for all my stories. This multiverse was born out of my gaming world and my desire for completeness. I was unable to simply create a singular world for my games, I needed to construct an entire creation with rules and beings and machinations. From here, I have spawned so many characters and stories that I can never actually tell them all to another person in my lifetime. However, I can craft a fine set of curated stories in my writings that will maintain a consistency across them all. And I can pick the best ones about which to write and publish!
