Author Bio

I love writing authentic, passionate and emotional love stories. I began my first novel, a historical, when I was sixteen, but life derailed me a bit when I started suffering with Ankylosing Spondylitis, so I didnt complete a novel until after I was thirty when I put it on my to do before Im forty list. Now I love getting caught up in the lives and traumas of my characters, and Im so thrilled to be giving my characters life in others imaginations. You can follow me on Twitter @JaneLark.
