Jane De Croos

I always wanted to write, to tell elaborate and far fetched stories as a child. I wanted my life to be wild and magical and crazy and one could definitely say I certainly achieved that! So why did it take me so long? Well the drugs, alcohol and procrastination got in the way..and underneath all that was a crippling lack of confidence I had in myself to really put my neck on the line.

Then, fast-forward over 30 years and suddenly (very suddenly) I turned 40 and life changed; it got easier and I stopped worrying about what everyone else would think about my wayward beliefs and horribly bad attitude and got down to write. I had no plan, no idea what I was doing and just went for it. This is my 1st draft and it took me 4 years to complete, as I did have to slow down in places due to having a baby, fleeing domestic abuse and a furious chemo regime to squash cancer. My fingers are firmly crossed the next one will be quicker!

Many thanks for taking the time to read this bio and very much hope you'll find some magic of your own within the pages of Nearly Thirteen Months.
