Jane has worked as a mural painter, scenic artist, graphic artist, animation cell artist and art director in theatre, television drama and commercials, films and music videos. She has travelled widely in Europe, Asia, America, Russia and India while working on film projects, but it was India and her people that inspired her to write her first historical romance novel, The Jasmine Wife.

I was born and still live in Oregon. As far back as I can remember I made up stories, many never again to see the light of day. I earned a BS from Eastern Oregon State College and married my best friend almost twenty years ago. I’ve three brilliant sons, one amazing daughter-in-law, a grand baby to be and two spoiled dogs. When not writing I love to read, hike, camp and take long walks with my husband. You can learn more about me at my blog http://loriconnelly.blogspot.com/

I read my first romance novel at 16 and immediately attempted to write one, too. Many attempts (and a couple of decades) later, I finally published my first novel. A mild-mannered newspaper reporter with more than 15 years experience as a general assignment reporter, features editor and graphic designer, I have also worked as a production assistant in TV and film. I lives in the Southeast with my rescue cat. Learn more about her books at www.angelacampbellonline.com.
