Jane Goodger is the pen name used by American bestselling author of romance novels Jane Blackwood.

She took matters into her hands and decided to recreate the world where all the women were brilliant and fruitful while all men are handsome, sexy and kind and each story ends happily rather than with sadness. Madam Jane Goodger lives within New England with her husband and three children, and they all strive to ensure that Jane has a happy ending each single day. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Christmas Books series, Jane Goodger has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres.
