The biography for Jane Mitchell is empty. What can you add?
I, Jane Mitchell, am a retired librarian and fiction writer. I have two daughters, Mary Linville Thorp and Sarah Kathryn Thorp and two grandchildren, Joseph Blair Johnson and Jasmine Kathryn Frazzetto. I was born in Alabama City, Alabama, a part of Gadsden, Alabama on Thanksgiving Day in 1950. My parents are Gladys Collins Mitchell and James Harry Mitchell, both deceased. I am an only child.
I have published four works of fiction: And Grace Will Lead Me Home, 2001; Trees with Angel Hair, 2005; Beat of my Heart, 2007; and Black Creek Rising. Three of these are set in a fictional version of my home town and feature a cotton mill, a high school similar to mine and other fictionalized places and events of my growing up years. I am working on a fifth novel You Can't Ride This Train, expected publication date in 2016.
I spent my working life in libraries, mostly as a reference librarian. My last position was as library director of Indian Rocks Beach Library.
My mother's family surnames are Frosts, Fraziers and Collins originally from DeKalb County, Alabama. My father's family names are Mitchell and Howell from Cullman County, Alabama.
