Jane FenwickJane Fenwick lives in the market town of Settle in Yorkshire, England. She studied education at Sheffield University gaining a B.Ed (Hons) in 1989 and going on to teach primary age range children. Jane decided to try her hand at penning a novel rathe than writing school reports as she has always been an avid reader, especially enjoying historical and crime fiction. Her favourite authors are Winston Graham who wrote the Poldark series and Agatha Christie. She also enjoys modern crime writing and ranks Peter James as one of the best in his genre.She decided to combine her love of both genres to write her first historical crime novel Never the Twain. Jane has always been a lover of antiques, particularly art nouveau and art deco ceramics and turned this hobby into a business opening an antiques and collectables shop in Settle. However her time as a dealer was short lived; she spent far too much time in the sale rooms buying items that ended up in her home rather than the shop! Animal welfare is a cause close to Jane's heart and she has been vegetarian since the age of fourteen. For the last twenty years she has been trustee of an animal charity which rescues and re-homes cats, dogs and all manner of creatures looking for a forever home. Of course several of these have been "adopted" by Jane! Although she lives in the Yorkshire Dales Jane is particularly drawn to the North East Coast which she knows well; often visiting Whitby, Sandsend and Alnmouth for research purposes. When she isn't walking on Sandsend beach with her dog Scout, a Patterdale "Terrorist" she is to be found in her favourite coffee shop gazing out to sea and dreaming up her next plot. When she's not at her desk Jane enjoys dancing, especially Latin American. Jane's writing is fuelled by chocolate; without it she doubts she would get anything done. Read More Read Less
