Jane Eales

Now an award-winning author, Jane Eales was born and adopted as a baby in London in 1947. She spent her childhood in Zimbabwe and at age 18 moved to South Africa where she met Rob. They married in Oxford (in England) and returned to South Africa, and in 1980, emigrated with their young family to Sydney Australia where they continue to live.

Jane met her biological family in 2005 in London. Flooded with family stories, she began to write as a way of making sense of everything. As layer upon layer of family history emerged, she was often asked 'why don't you write a book?' and Secrets, Spies and Spotted Dogs is the result. This is her first book. An unexpected outcome of her search for identity emerged in 2008 when she discovered she could paint, see www.janeeales.com.

Secrets, Spies and Spotted Dogs was judged a Winner in the 2015 Next Generation Indie Book Awards in New York. For links to TV and radio interviews and articles about the book, see www.middleharbourpress.com.
