Jan Kirchner is a multi-genre indie author whose writing explores the emotional terrain between light and shadow. She is the author of several poetry collections, including Holes in Your Umbrella and Borderline, as well as novellas such as A Love Stolen in Time and A Book Club Survivor’s Guide. Her work often centers on themes of mental health, identity, longing, and the quiet power of everyday survival.
A lifelong writer and storyteller, Jan holds a Master’s degree in English and Creative Writing and teaches college writing courses as an adjunct professor. She also runs a personal blog, Ghosts in the Glass, where she shares reflections on writing, life, and the ever-changing weather of the mind.
Whether she’s crafting poetry that speaks to emotional truth or suspenseful fiction with a twist, Jan is passionate about creating stories that resonate—and helping others feel a little less alone in the process.
When not writing, she spends her days in Illinois with her husband, a gecko, and a bearded dragon named Hermes. She is also a proud Avon representative.
