She played ice hockey on ice ponds; swam in creeks and lakes; skied, hiked, and rode horses in the mountains; and played baseball in pastures. Her writing turned professional, during the Covid lockdown, when Jane took multiple online writing courses and began writing children’s books, inspired and encouraged by her grandson, who was the recipient of countless original bedtime stories.
