About Jayne Davis

Jayne Davis was born in England, near the Welsh border, and lived in several places while growing up, including a spell in Singapore and in Malta. Malta was where she got hooked on historical romances-living in a rented house whose owners had left behind a whole set of Georgette Heyer novels. Loving Jane Austen and Georgette Heyer, she longed to write similar novels herself. She toyed with the idea several times over the years, but real life intervened and she had several careers, including as a nonfiction author under another name. That wasn't quite the writing career she had in mind . . .

Jayne is a full-time author, dividing her time between historical fiction and her nonfiction work.
