About Janice Green

Janice D. Green didn't start life in the Pee Dee region of South Carolina; but moving from Nashville TN to Pageland in 1970 and fresh out of college, she still had some growing up time left to do. She moved again several times, always in the Pee Dee. Eventually she settled in Cheraw for twenty years, then moved to her present home in Hemingway where she has been for the last eighteen years. Janice says, "The Pee Dee has been good to me. I hope to find ways to encourage the people of the Pee Dee to preserve their rich heritage, and I offer this blog as one way to do so." Mrs. Green is the author and publisher of two children's Bible storybooks. Learn more about them at... http://honeycombadventures.com
