There's no complete biography of Jan yet, but one may be in the works. In the meantime, you can read Jan Kerouac: A Life in Memory, a collection of memoirs, photos, and an interview (edited by Gerald Nicosia).
RIP, Jan. You led a colorful life and definitely lived a lot in your time. I wish we could have met (from what I know, I suspect I may have had a little crush).

Interesting to note I was able to here her speak along with one of Jack's friends that knew him here in St. Pete at Eckerd College at a book festival back in the early 90's. I purchased my first copy of On the Road that day. It was amazing to hear their stories about Jack.
I remember her writing a short bit in The Beat Reader? Beat Reader Companion or something like that? I just remember liking her story about the little that she remembered about Jack. there was a story from Burroughs' kid and a story from Bukowski about meeting/drinking with Neal Cassady? Love your blog. I've ben trolling through mine and saw revisited a comment that you left years ago. Please stop by again. www.kevynnmalone.blogspot.com
