Spilled Words is Janet M. Moreland's first solo work. Combining free verse, prose, and lyrical rhythms, separately or mixed with wild abandon, Spilled Words contains poems for family & friends, for love remembered, and words from her Cherokee spirit which may enchant or annoy but are sure to entertain. Here also are some of her short stories and poems written just for children, who are "always a delight to my soul." Her sense of humor is never far away and gives an insight into the life of this singular poet, who describes herself as a "recluse, living in an oasis in the midst of the barren desert, where I may wander to the spirits who dwell in these mystical mountains." Cover designer: Jim Hopkins, retired Florida graphics artist

A group of eight women in a book club in Connecticut, and Janet M. Moreland in Nevada, got together and became "The Shannon Project." These group members wrote a children’s story for a little girl with leukemia. All proceeds from the sale of the book go to the little girl’s family.
Shenandoah, Beautiful Daughter of the Stars is a delightful story of a young Cherokee girl named Shenandoah and her friend, Takoda. Deftly written and characterized in the manner of traditional Native American legends, it tells how Shenandoah develops sensibility and courage while embracing the meaning and power of the dream catcher and the medicine bag.
Although there is some sadness in the story, love, hope, and happiness prevail. The charming cover and drawings portray interesting cultural details in the story and add dimension within the pages. The events in this young girl’s journey into blind faith will enchant young and old alike.

Confusion of THE ONE is a love story told in dark poetry and prose, co-authored by Lawrence T. The authors tell the love story of a man with bipolar disorder. The highs and lows of this disorder are manifest in his never-ending attempts to find true love, even though he fails over and over again. The would-be lover says, "When the sun refuses to shine on the heart, the words of a poet reflect all the dark emotions. These, then, are the words from a tear-stained keyboard." Order from Lulu.com, amazon.com and other online bookstores.

Taka's New Friend: An Ohlone Story was Janet M. Moreland's second solo story. It was written for fourth and fifth grade school children at the request of Moreland's son, who teaches school in San Francisco. His class projects included teaching his class the history of the Ohlone Indians and how they were affected by the arrival of the Spaniards. This particular book does not emphasize the building of the Catholic missions. It is the story of Taka (Ohlone) and Esteban (an endentured Spanish servant), two teenage boys, and how they overcame all the obstacles between them in order to become friends. Observe their ingenuity in overcoming language and cultural differences. The background is well-researched, but the characters are from Moreland's imagination.
