Jane always enjoyed writing but it was not a priority until her grandchild was born. One day it struck her that she must finish the Gigi stories as a gift to her grandchild. The Gigi Project was born and led to the publication of two books after 18 months of hard work and many rewrites. 

Collaborating with Mary Hobbs and her pencil art and Jenny Campbell’s cartoon art best known in “Flo and Friends,” gave life and color to the text. In addition to the Gigi Project, Jane writes about the adventures of five-year-old Sadie and her parents.

All of Jane’s books are intended to simply be sweet stories to read with children. No deep message. Just time shared with a child away from the world of cell phones and computers and television.

Jane lives in Ohio and has two grown children and one grandchild. She is a graduate of Michigan State University with an English degree and taught high school English for five years. Other careers have been as a mother, Development Director for the American Cancer Society, Financial Advisor and ardent volunteer. She continues to work part-time and volunteer when she is not writing.
