Jane Oliver

"In her fascinating introduction to Business as Usual, the publisher Kate Macdonald details the writing careers of two remarkable women authors – Helen Rees (1903–70) and Anne Pedlar (1900–66) – who, under the pseudonyms Jane Oliver and Ann Stafford, produced a staggering ninety-seven novels, both individually and together. And yet who has heard of them today? Jane Oliver in particular was best known for her meticulously researched historical novels, the royalties from which enabled her to set up the prestigious John Llewellyn Rhys literary prize in 1942 in memory of her husband, which ran for almost seventy years until its demise in 2010." https://web.archive.org/web/20201126131205/https://www.the-tls.co.uk/articles/business-as-usual-jane-oliver-ann-stafford-review-gerri-kimber/ See also: https://web.archive.org/web/20210421180847/https://www.handheldpress.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Oliver-and-Stafford-biographies.pdf

Jane Orcutt

Award-winning Christian author Jane Orcutt was born on January 25th, 1960, in Fort Worth, Texas. Born with a serious heart defect, Jane faced surgeries and long recoveries from the age of five. But these solitary times only strengthened Jane’s love for reading, and her dream of one day becoming a writer. Jane achieved that dream with style, not only as a popular Christian novelist with fourteen published books to her credit, but also through her mentorship of many young writers. Throughout Jane’s life, she enjoyed writing about her home state of Texas. She was particularly talented at breathing life into historical time periods and she brought a fresh view of the bluebonnet state to her readers worldwide. As a University of Texas graduate, she possessed a broad range of writing and editing skills, which she used in her own writing, as a production worker for an Austin television station, and as an editor for a Forth Worth publishing company. In 1982, Jane married Bill Orcutt. They had two sons, Colin and Sam, whom Jane homeschooled until they reached high school. Jane often stated that this accomplishment was her pride and joy. She was passionate about helping her sons explore their interests and intellect while allowing them to grow into individual men of their own account. Jane was a loyal and loving wife, mother, daughter, and sister, a witty and sought-after friend, a powerful writer, and a tender pet owner. Most of all Jane was a follower and lover of Jesus Christ. On Sunday, March 18, 2007, after a long battle with acute myeloid leukemia, Jane stepped into the arms of her Savior. She now rests safely in His arms, while her powerful legacy lives on through her family and through her books.

Jane Porter

Jane Porter was an English historical novelist, dramatist and literary figure, and one of the most popular writers of her time. Her bestselling novels, Thaddeus of Warsaw (1803) and The Scottish Chiefs (1810) are seen as among the earliest historical novels in a modern style and among the first to become bestsellers. They were abridged and remained popular among children well into the twentieth century. In her later years, Porter continued to write pieces for journals. Many appeared anonymously or were simply signed "J. P." Her wide-ranging topics included Peter the Great, Simón Bolívar, and the African explorer Dixon Denham. Source: Wikipedia

Jane Silverwood

Louise F. was born on 1941 in Detroit, Michigan, USA. She began to write short stories in high school and continued to write in college. She married with a philosophy student, and they moved to Ohio, where she obtained a Masters degree and taught freshman English and her husband became a Philosophy Professor. The marriage had two sons, and she began to write in earnest, those first efforts remain unsold. The family moved to Maryland, where she joined a literary critique group. There she wrote a collaborative effort with other three women, Ruth Glick, Carolyn Males and Eileen Buckholtz. The result was a romance novel, "Love is Elected", was published by Silhouette Books under the pseudonym Alyssa Howard, and they also wrote other novel, Southern Persuasion. But they decided split them into groups of two. She wrote in collaboration with Ruth Glick under the pseudonyms Alexis Hill, Alexis Hill Jordan and Tess Marlowe, and in collaboration with Carolyn Males as Clare Richards and Clare Richmond. She also wrote alone under the pseudonyms of Anne Silverlock and Jane Silverwood, and fantasy and mystery novels under her real name: Louise Titchener. She said: "I'm a story-teller; I'm not a romance writer, mystery writer, or suspense writer per se. I tell all different kinds of stories. I certainly would not recommend it to other writers -- it's not the way to build an audience or a career in today's market." With their children grown, Louise and her husband decided to move from the Maryland suburbs to inner city Baltimore. Now, they are grandparents. When she isn't writing fiction, she paints, sails, bicycles and figure skates. She particularly enjoys long walks around Baltimore, where she loves to set her mystery books. She is member of the Washington Romance Writers, a chapter of the Romance Writers of America.
