C. Jane lives in the Pacific Northwest where she loves the rain because it makes being a writer even easier with few bright, sunny days to draw her out of the house. She credits her upbringing in Indiana and her early adulthood in the West Texas Panhandle for her fascination with family history. Much like her characters, her own extended family lives within a few towns (or at times only a cornfield) from each other. 

She loves old maps, old books, and old handcrafts. She also keeps a genealogy of all her characters but sadly hasn’t had time to work on the one for her own family. Life is funny like that. 

C. Jane currently has two published series: The Donaghue Histories (a family's saga from 1720 to 2020) and the Lola Rose Mysteries (a jazz age mystery set in a posh hotel in 1920s London). She also has two short story collections, an anthology, and a book set in WWI. Expect more to come.
