Jane has since been named as a judge for the Daphne Competition, where she evaluates entries from emerging, unpublished authors.
\u201cWorking with the wonderful people at the Daphne contest is a highlight of my year,\u201d Jane says. \u201cThere is nothing more rewarding than helping other authors find their authentic voice.\u201d

Before turning to fiction, Jane was the youngest Press Secretary on Capitol Hill, editor of two monthly periodicals, partner in a DC PR agency, and Editorial Director of Ford\u2019s Theatre.
