🎯 Where Should I Start?
ⓘ About Jane Steen
Jane Steen is a historical mystery author who writes nineteenth-century historical novels that are a combination of saga and mystery with a dash of romance. She is very much inspired by the love of drama and death in Victorian fiction, even though she loves to say that she writes on the fluffier and lighter end of historical fiction. Her love for historical fiction probably comes from the fact that she was named after Jane Eyre, one of her favorite novelists. This has doomed her to a passionate interest in Victorian fiction while the world around her got to modernization. Steen was born in the tail end of the 1950s and spent much of her early childhood and early adulthood in England at a time when hippies, strikes, shortages, socialism, and recessions were the order of the day.
