JAN IRVING has worked in all kinds of creative fields, from painting silk to making porcelain ceramics to interior design, but her award-winning writing is always her touchstone.

She feels you can’t fully understand characters until you follow their journey through a story world. Many kinds of worlds interest her—fantasy, historical, science fiction, and suspense—but all have one thing in common: people finding a way to live together and accept themselves—in the most emotional and satisfying fashion possible, of course!
