Jane grew up in Brooklyn, New York, went to High School on Cape Cod, and now lives and works in her house surrounded by woods in Holliston, Massachusetts. She lives with her husband, son, and Pearl, a white cat with black spots, and Esme, a black cat with white spots.

Jane graduated from Brandeis University with a degree in English and Creative Writing and from Harvard Divinity School with a Master’s Degree in Theological Studies. Though not all of what she’s studied makes an appearance in her work (no Biblical Hebrew yet . . . .), the habits of creative thought and curiosity she developed in school help her every day. She has worked as a children’s room library assistant, a writing teacher, and a children’s bookseller and organizer of author events. She is currently a Jewish educator and Hebrew School Principal.
