My middle son doesn’t need me to go to his Parent Orientation this week at Occidental, after all he’s gone off to college twice now. We all know what’s going to happen—well, let’s be clear, we know how orientation goes—not necessarily how the year itself will go. That’s still up for grabs. But late last […]

I’ve Missed My Voice
Why begin blogging again? Why talk now? It’s selfish really. I’ve felt increasingly disconnected from women, and myself. I’ve become silent in the wrong ways, contained when I’d benefit from sharing, shut down when what I crave most is community. It’s hurt me emotionally, and it’s hurt me spiritually, and this isolation has spilled into […]
Somewhere Out There with Amy Hatvany
I met Amy Hatvany at the Tucson book festival number of years ago. We were on the same panel and I felt like I had met my soul sister. I loved her from the start and am a fan of her books and her massive heart. So delighted to have Amy on my blog as she shares […]
Celebrating Life & Love
Four years ago today Ty and I married in Las Vegas. We wanted a celebration, and we wanted it to be fun. I hadn’t planned on ever marrying again and I’m a deeply spiritual person but being married by Elvis in a tacky little chapel seemed right. Why? Because it was Ty and me, […]
It’s You Release Day!
It’s finally here! Release day for It’s You and I couldn’t be happier. This is a very special book for me and I’ve really been looking forward to sharing it with you all. It’s You tells a story of love, loss and healing, focusing on Ali and Edie, two women who have both lost the […]
Crabby But True
It’s been a rough start to 2014 and I don’t say this so anyone emails me, or says, feel better, because honestly, I won’t ‘feel better’ until one of my chicks is better, and the only way he gets better is if he begins to want it, too. A couple readers seeing my Facebook posts […]
Ringing in the New Year with Elizabeth Boyle
I am returning to California from Hawaii today and asked Elizabeth Boyle, my very good friend, and a very long time friend (having known her since 1996!) to join my on my blog today for a special new year’s message, and its one I know you will enjoy. Without further ado, here’s Elizabeth! This Year: Faith […]
The Year & A New Year
I don’t write as many JaneBlogs as I used to. I have been featuring many guest authors and friends because it feels strange to always talk about me and my books. I know many of you are here, or follow me, because you enjoy my books, but as the career has continued and the deadlines […]
Back in Hawaii
I’m back in Hawaii and so enjoying the time with my boys. It’s been six weeks since I saw my guy Ty and three weeks since I held Mac. It’s so good to be back with them both, and now Jake arrives from California tomorrow with a couple of friends. All I need is […]
Featured Author: Megan Crane
You know I love my Megan. She’s not only a fantastic writer friend, she’s one of my ‘real life’ best friends and I adore her. We met in NYC at the launch party for Grand Central’s 5 Spot line in the Fall of ’05, had dinner with our mutual editor, Karen K, and over time […]
