Jane Straus, Author/Publisher

Back in 1975, Jane was a 21-year-old undergraduate at the University of California looking for a job as a waitress. However, the Universe had other plans for her. One day, she got a call from someone at the State Personnel Board.  "Jane, according to one of your professors, you can write well. Can you teach a one-day class in English to state employees?" Too naïve to decline, Jane jumped at the chance to go from Jane Straus, Aspiring Waitress, to Jane Straus, Training Consultant.

Scouring the library for a book that conveyed the rules of English in, well, plain English, Jane got frustrated. With little time to spare, she wrote the rules her way, made up some exercises, ran off some copies, clipped them together, and showed up for class. Little did she realize that she was creating The Blue Book of Grammar and Punctuation, which, thanks to the Internet 22 years later, has become a perennial bestseller on Amazon.

Jane has become a renowned life and relationship coach and is also the author of the popular inspirational book, Enough Is Enough! Stop Enduring and Start Living Your Extraordinary Life. She has been interviewed by national media such as ABC and NBC and has written for publications such as USA Today and Woman's World.

People often ask Jane how she blends her English teacher persona with her wit and wisdom in matters of the heart. Her answer is, "It's all self-help. Whether I'm figuring out a way to explain the use of a semicolon or working with someone who is suffering from addiction, there is a path."
 
It should come as no surprise that Jane's motto is, "Together We Can Do This!"
