Mary Lou Janson

Most of my life has been spent in the Tampa Bay area, where I currently live, work and enjoy the natural beauty, signature sunsets and lively waterfront on a daily basis. I spend much of my time chronicling what is happening throughout Tampa, writing about its growth, development, improvements and the people who make it different, better and exciting for newspapers, magazines, web sites and even a Tampa Bay Insider’s Guide app, http://sutromedia.com/apps/Tampa_Bay_Insiders_Guide.

Professional writing credits include 10 years as a reporter with a major daily newspaper, five years as a freelance travel writer and photographer, co-author of The Adventure Guide to Northern California, a regular contributor to local lifestyle magazines and blogger for VisitSouth.com.
