JANET LEES Writer and Lay Benedictine |

Hello, welcome to my homepage.
I am a writer and I live in Derbyshire. I have previously worked as a school chaplain in Yorkshire and as a Speech and Language Therapist specialising in work with children..
I am also interested in interpreting the bible with ordinary people using the remembered bible. You can find examples of my published work here: www.ionabooks.com.
I am a member of the Lay Community of St Benedict.
