Jane Stain started attending the renaissance pleasure faire at Paramount Ranch in 1973, when she was ten. She enjoyed trying to climb the twisty rope ladders and eating the huge turkey drumsticks. As teens, she and her friends came in costume, pretending to be The Three Musketeers or Dragon Riders of Pern. Jane was twenty-five when she joined the crew of faire workers and discovered a whole new perspective on the faire. She shares the magic of this in her faire books, rather than the debauchery (mostly). |
