ⓘ About Jayne Davis

Jayne Davis is a historical romance fiction author from the United Kingdom who has said that she writes under a pseudonym since she works a day job writing nonfiction school textbooks. She would then qualify as an engineer and spent a decade in that profession before she quit to become a teacher and publisher of school textbooks. Ultimately, she would end up juggling everything with fiction writing when she published her debut work of fiction “The Mrs MacKinnons” in 2018. Like many of her contemporaries, Jayne Davis chose historical romance since she had always loved reading the likes of Jane Austen and Georgette Heyer as a teenager. One thing she wanted to correct was the restrictions on characters from this era and this provided her with a lot of possibilities for her fiction.
