Jane Porter | A Thing Called Grace
October 17, 2007
I’m a hard worker, a good mom, a loyal friend, and sometimes a pretty decent writer, but that doesn’t mean everything goes smoothly  Read More...

Jane Porter is still a small town girl at heart. Now an award-winning novelist with nearly 3 million books in print, Jane never feels too far away from her roots in central California's golden foothills, oak trees, and miles of farmland. It was one year in Europe when she was thirteen that opened a huge and wonderful world of different cultures and customs to Jane, who became especially passionate about Italy.

After that incredible year the travel bug bit, and bit hard. She spent much of her high school and college years abroad, studying in South Africa, Japan and Ireland. And now, after a Bachelors degree from UCLA, a stint in sales and marketing, and several wonderful years in the teaching trenches of junior high school, Jane is a full-time fiction writer, and her books are famously set in all manners of exotic places.

Her first published novel, The Italian Groom, sold to Harlequin Presents in 2000. Since then, Jane has been prolific, penning more than 20 novels. She was a finalist for the prestigious RITA award from Romance Writers of America in both 2002 and 2003. Her most recent work, The Frog Prince, marks a new avenue for Jane's career. Taking a more literary turn than her previous work, Jane stayed close to home, using the backdrop of exciting San Francisco to look at the complex relationships between mothers, daughters and the men they love.

Jane lives in rugged Seattle with her two young sons. She is currently working on her second chick lit romance, set in Hawaii.
