Jane O'Brien

Jane O'Brien discovered her love of writing at the age of ten when she wrote her first ten-chapter book in pencil on notebook paper. She passed it around to all of her friends at school and told them she wanted to be an author. And that planted the seed.

O'Brien's career life has been varied. She was a piano teacher for over 50 years, a librarian, and a professional proofreader. She is also interested in genealogy, having worked on her own family tree, as well as her husband's, for over 40 years, which helps to color most of her novels.

Today, as a grandmother, Jane is finally fulfilling her lifelong dream, after successfully having her thirty-eighth book published, which includes two trilogies, one six-book series, three Christmas novellas, two time travel series and a series of standalone novellas. She lives in West Michigan and writes clean romance and time travel with a little history, mystery, and family entanglements, all set in her part of the state.

The stories she weaves are about family and the intricate connections of relatives, past and present.
