The series would be published through Harper Collins, and through the publisher's Nightmare line in the UK. Harrell would turn to the supernatural for her next releases, beginning with Vampire Twins, following immortal brother and sister Paul and Anne Marie Montclair in an epic horror story that was originally advertised as a trilogy, but would end up traversing four novels, probably due to its success. The series, Secret Diaries, would end up being a trilogy incorporating strong elements of romance, suspense and mystery between a group of teenagers.

Scholastic would publish a series by Janice Harrell in 1994, beginning with Temptation. She would be in the company of such YA greats as L.J. She would also release The Darkroom as part of Harper Collins' UK imprint Lions, through their Nightmare line, which was meant to compete with other successful teen thriller lines such as Point Horror. Her next several books would be teen thrillers/mysteries, published by a variety of publishers, including Simon Pulse ( The Murder Game), Harper Collins ( Dead Girls Can't Scream), and Avon Flare ( Fatal Magic).

Then, after a brief foray into middle grade fiction with books like Tiffany, the Disaster, she would devote her attention on young adult novels for the remainder of her career. Harrell would continue to write romance over the next year, for adult readers, but she would also publish her first thriller for young adults, Flashpoint, a murder mystery from Simon Pulse. She followed it up the next year with Andie and the Boys, which would spawn two sequels, Dooley Mackenzie is Totally Weird and Brace Yourself, P.J.

In December 1989, Janice Harrell wrote her first novel just for young adults, Wild Times at West Mount High for Simon Pulse, in the romance genre. She wrote a total of nine books for Crosswinds Keepsake, as well as the novel Stu's Song for their Harlequin Crosswinds line. Harrell also wrote books for the Two by Two series during this time, including One Special Summer and Secret Hearts, for Warner Books.Ĭontinuing her foray into romance, Harrell began to work with Harlequin in 1987, writing for their Crosswinds Keepsake line, beginning with the second book in the series, Starring Susy. She would continue to write nine more novels for First Love From Silhouette over the next four years.

The novel, Puppy Love, was #67 in the line, and was published on November 1st, 1983. Her first book seems to be part of Pocket Books' romance series line First Love From Silhouette, featuring teenagers' first love. Janice Harrell had quite a career before she delved into teen horror, although she always seemed to have an affinity with teen characters.
