Jane Alden was born and raised in a small Mississippi River Delta community in Arkansas where everyone knew everyone else. After graduating from the University of Arkansas, she taught 7th grade English in Porterville, California, and later moved to Los Angeles to begin a career in health care management. After many lucky circumstances and thanks to wonderful mentors, she became a successful hospital administrator and is presently an executive coach.
Jane and her partner of thirty years live in a small town thirty miles east of metropolitan Los Angeles. Their chocolate lab, Delilah, is the captain of the domestic ship.
“I met the author at a writer’s festival and we traded books. I was so impressed with the way this story unfolded. The author was great at giving us clues, but holding back just enough to keep us turning pages. I appreciated that the protagonist worked for an investigative agency I was not familiar with – so that added an interesting new element. Bring on the sequel!
