Before writing children’s books, Jane was an RN, a School Board Director, an educator, a counselor, a business woman, a community leader, and an artist.
Her enduring passion is to draw people out, encourage their growth & healing, and delight in their flourishing & fulfillment.
She is a mother of 4 and grandmother of 2, and currently lives in sunny Carmel Valley, California. She loves hosting her family, and you will most likely find her enjoying her backyard, playing with her grandchildren, or both.
