When I was a little girl I was given a membership to a record collection by Unicef with music from all over the world. I loved the international collection, and loved reading about the Peace Corp and missionaries and everything by Pearl S. Buck. I spent my junior year of high school living in South […]

My Favorite Writer’s Cottage
The Pacific Northwest Writers Association is a fantastic writers organization headed up the even more wonderful Pam Binder as president. The PNWA puts on one of the best annual writers conferences around and I’m thrilled to be one of their keynote speakers this summer for the August conference. The PNWA is always looking for ways […]
Win Jane! … Okay, a Visit with Jane
I love my readers. I really do. You guys are the reason I keep writing even when everything gets chaotic or hard. I so appreciate your support and friendship and sense of fun. During my book tours and book discussions, readers frequently ask me how much my life experiences influence the stories and characters I […]
Cowboy Mac
Giddy’up cowboy! I confess, I love this picture of Mac at our fair last week. He had his first pony ride and wanted more. Mac still isn’t talking a lot but he’s so funny even without a lot of words as he can imitate any sound or inflection and mimics every animal and person around. […]
Lunch with my Denver Readers

The […]
A Dark Sicilian Secret is done!
My latest Harlequin Presents, a story set in Sicily, has been officially accepted and titled. I don’t know when A Dark Sicilian Secret will be scheduled, but fingers crossed it’ll be out this time next year, if not a little sooner. This was such an intense book, and while I loved my premise, it challenged […]
Traveling & Touring Jane
I’m writing a lot this week, working on my new book, and it’s exciting and challenging, and compelling and frustrating, but isn’t that how a new book always is? But even with all the writing, the She’s Gone Country book tour rolls on. This Friday I’m at the Borders at Sea-Tac airport at 9 am, […]
Back Home
Back home after my week in California! It’s been a very successful tour so far. Readers are loving She’s Gone Country and I really want to thank everyone who’s posted a review at Amazon and the other sites! Several of you have emailed to tell me it’s your all-time favorite book that I’ve written. I’m grateful […]
Leapin’ Lizard!
While I gasp at the 109 temperatures predicted for today’s high in Fresno, Mac’s in Hawaii with his dad…wearing baby lizards on his head! When I say we’re raising a wild child, I mean it! Mac is so funny and silly, and built so much like our English bulldogs I think he is one! I had […]
Book Events All Week Long!
The pic below was taken in July when I joined a wonderful Seattle book group for their discussion of Odd Mom Out and tomorrow I begin a whole new round of book talks, readings, signings and discussions….about SHE’S GONE COUNTRY! I am really excited to be on the road, meeting up with readers, and saying […]
