About Jane Harrington
Jane Harrington grew up with five siblings, a beagle named Charlie, and a parakeet named Pudgie. For almost twenty years Jane’s writing has been inspired by her three daughters. Jane’s fourth book, Extreme Pets!, was inspired by some other wild things in her care—a menagerie of arthropods, reptiles and other critters that shared her house and classrooms during her years as a park naturalist and science teacher. With her daughters off on their own real-life adventures, Jane looks to her husband and shelter-pup for amusement and is teaching college writing. Her wordcraft has turned to literary fiction and creative nonfiction, published in Chautauqua, Mom Egg Review, Anthology of Appalachian Writers, Portland Review, and other journals. She is a fellow at the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, and is presently working on a novel set in the mystical, fragile Blue Ridge Mountains that are now her home.
