Jane JohnsonWelcome to my official homepage. I’m the author of epic adventures of the heart Crossed Bones/The Tenth Gift (about the abduction in 1625 of captives from the Cornish coast by Barbary pirates sold into the white slave trade in Morocco), and The Salt Road (forthcoming September 2010, set amongst the desert nomads of the Sahara). See the books section of the site for more information on these novels; and also for information about what I am working on next.

The site also includes all my latest news, as well as my own very romantic story. You can read an excerpt from Crossed Bones/The Tenth Gift or The Salt Road.

If you’re interest in my inspiration for these novels do have a look at the photo galleries and information pages in the inspiration section of the site. And then do feel free to contact me: I love to hear from readers and promise to respond as quickly as I can.
