Jane Thornley

Jane Thornley has been creating stories forever, or for at least as far back as she can remember. She recalls telling her elementary school buddies all about an amazing flying horse she kept in her closet that she'd take for rides when nobody was looking. Though her friends loved the stories (and were waiting for a ride), the adults were not so amused. After that, it didn't take long for her to sort out the difference between writing fiction and telling lies but the experience shaped her life from that point on.

Now, as an adult, she's lived many lives: English teacher, professional librarian, travel host, collaborator in a software company, a knitwear designer, and a superintendent of schools, but she considers "author" to be her default position. She lives nestled by a river in Nova Scotia and travels the world with her husband gleaning inspiration for her books.
