Jane Kindred

Jane Kindred began writing romantic fantasy novellas at the age of 12 in the wayback of a Plymouth Fury--which, as far as she recalls, never killed anyone who didn't have it coming. Born in Billings, Montana, she was soon whisked away to Tucson, Arizona where she spent most of her childhood ruining her eyes reading romance novels in the sun (and watching Star Trek marathons in the dark). Although she was repeatedly urged to learn a marketable skill in case she couldn't find a man to marry her, she received a B.A. in Creative Writing anyway from the University of Arizona. She now lives in San Francisco with her son, two feline overlords who are convinced she is constantly plotting their death, and a cockatiel named Imhotep who punishes her for sins in a past life (and whom she frequently imagines tastily smoked, dried, and splayed on a stick like omul fished from Lake Baikal). Jane is represented by Sara Megibow of Nelson Literary Agency.
