Hello – and welcome to my website.

I’m Jane Jackson and I write historical romances set in Cornwall during the period between the Napoleonic Wars and the Edwardian era.  Containing elements of adventure and intrigue, they explore Cornish life at every level of society and are emotionally-gripping stories of courage, ambition, tragedy, and the redeeming power of love.

Earlier in my career I wrote fourteen medical and contemporary romances for Harlequin set in exotic places.  But my love of history and of my home county of Cornwall beckoned. I happily followed and haven’t looked back.

I hope you enjoy browsing, and leave feeling inspired to read some of the books it has given me so much pleasure to write.

 

 

 

 

My plan is to regularly update this part of the Home page with excerpts from my Blog of news, pics, interesting snippets of research, and reports on the progress of my current book.

 

 

 

 

I took this photo from Dad’s back door last week at 7.45am.   The sky looked as if it was on fire.   It only lasted a few minutes.  By 8am the sky was a wall-to-wall rumpled blanket of dismal grey.   Though I occasionally  (often) grumble about having to be out so early,  a sight like this is rare and I was glad not to have missed it.
