Jane lives in
the historic city of Oxford, England with her two spaniels. She works at the
Pitt Rivers museum there too and is amazed and inspired by its wondrous array
of objects. Being a museum of anthropology and world archaeology, Jane
often finds herself influenced by its exhibitions. And indeed it has helped
Jane write a trilogy for children – the Paradox Child series.
Jane is not
only a mother, artist and storyteller, but dyslexic too, which only highlights
her success even more. Jane refuses to allow the disorder to halt her dreams
and continues to enjoy her favourite hobbies. Jane is a lover of steampunk,
adventure and children’s stories, which often play a huge role in her own
books.
