Jane Bonander has always had a flare
for the dramatic. Just ask her mother. When she was five, she ran
home from kindergarten and scrambled under her parents' bed, hiding
there until her mother came looking for her which was longer than
Jane had anticipated, for she fell asleep. When her mother woke her,
she told her that a big, hairy monster had chased her home. Since
over an hour had passed, the drama of the moment was gone.
She sold her first novel, SECRETS OF
A MIDNIGHT MOON, to St. Martin's Press in 1990. Since then she has
published twelve more novels and novellas. She currently makes her
home in St. Paul, Minnesota and in the fall of 1998, remarried after
the death of her first husband, Alan. The new man in her life, Richard
Noer, is an avid skiier and for the past twenty six years has been
on the ski patrol at a local ski area. Although Jane doesn't ski and
refuses to start now, she does "chalet" and enjoys people watching
as she does so!
Jane's oldest son, Jason, who obtained
his PhD from Brown University in Providence, RI, is living in Atlanta,
GA with his wife, Melissa, who has recently graduated from Emory University
with a law degree. She is employed with the ATF. Ross, Jane's younger
son, is also a writer. He teaches at the Berlitz School in San Francisco
where his new bride, Amber, works in Product Publicity for Levi Strauss.
