Jane King was born in Taihape N.Z. 1957. Her family moved to the south Island when she was 2 and a half years old and she has a brother who is presently shearing in Western Australia. She has travelled and worked in Australia for several years and is currently studying the Diploma of Art and Creativity with The Learning Connection in Wellington. During her first course of studying The Certificate of Art and Creativity, she wrote a story in connection with her art assignments and was encouraged by friends and family members to have her story published. Jane is currently living with her mother in Te Kuiti, a small town approximately an hour's drive from Hamilton New Zealand and is the proud mother of two children Peter and Bonnie. She has gained fresh inspiration for story writing from the arrival of her first grandchild Layla Jane Montgomery King.
