Welcome to the World of Janet Muirhead Hill
Janet Muirhead Hill's stories spring from a richly fertile imagination. Her characters come to life, becoming intimately familiar and profoundly dear to her as conflicts naturally arise from the choices they make. Much like in real life, they react according to their past experiences, their self-belief—or the absence of it—and they learn and evolve, propelling the story onward. Janet merely chronicles their journeys. She wouldn't want it any other way.
Her writing process is deeply intuitive and character-driven, rooted in a profound respect for the autonomy of her fictional creations. She begins with inspirations drawn from real-life situations—observations of people navigating challenges, dilemmas, or emotional truths she's witnessed or imagined. These sparks often come from everyday experiences, such as family dynamics, hardships faced by children, or her own lifelong love of horses and the outdoors in rural Montana. Then she asks her characters, "What would you do if…?"
She asks Miranda: “What if you had to live far from your mother with grandparents you barely know? What if no one at school seemed to like you? What if the only thing that could make you happy was owning a horse—and you'd risk everything to claim the most beautiful one you'd ever seen?”

She asks Kendall and Kyleah: “What if you were separated from your beloved twin and told you'd never see them again? What if you couldn't forget, no matter what your divorced parents wished?”
(The Twins Trilogy – a poignant exploration of loss, memory, and unbreakable bonds.)

She asks two thirteen-year-old girls what it's like to swap lives entirely—from the comforts of wealthy twenty-first-century New York to the hard work of a large ranching family in 1900s Montana, and vice versa.
(A Twist in Time – an enchanting tale of contrast, growth, and unexpected connections.)
And the questions never stop. New characters always rise to answer: Hattie, Emily, Jack, and Madison; David and White Eagle; even Maisewith and Ithwaic in a thrilling sci-fi fantasy series written under a pen name.
