As a former superintendent of schools, Director of Research & Technology,
teacher, principal, and librarian, Jane thornley has lived many lives in her first set
of careers. Now she has graduated (in other words, she’s retired) into her best life
and flying free.
She has lead an online knitting community called the Inspired Knitters Club for a
decade as well as taken knitting groups on evocative knitting tours worldwide. She
calls her knitting style ‘free-range’ because her patterns are more like recipes than
traditional patterns and she encourages knitters to explore outside the lines using
a mixture of yarns and textures.
These days, she mostly writes novels. Her historical mystery thriller novels
featuring an art historian who also knits has become so popular that it has
absorbed her full-time.
