Jan Cocks-Salvemini

Life started in a normal manner for Jan as healthy baby girl. But at ten months of age she was bitten by a mosquito and became disabled.

At this same time, she had bronchial pneumonia resulting in a permanent lung disease.

Jan prefers to be called ‘para-abled’ or having a ‘parability’, rather than ‘disabled’ and having a ‘disability’.

Thanks Mosquito for the Ride is her first book. Jan lives in Adelaide, South Australia.
