Jane Mersky Leder

Jane Mersky Leder was born in Detroit, Michigan. The "Motor City" and original home of Motown have driven her writing from the start. A "Baby Boomer" who came of age in the Sixties, Leder is fascinated by the complexities of relationships between generations, between genders, and between our personal and public personas.

Dead Serious, a book about teen suicide, was named a YASD Best Book for Young Adults.

The second edition of Dead Serious (with a new subtitle): Breaking the Cycle of Teen Suicide, can be ordered now and will be available as an eBook and/or soft cover as of January 23, 2018.

Leder has also written about the sibling connection and love and sex in World War II.

She currently spends her time in Evanston, Illinois, and San Miguel de Allende, Mexico
