Born in Manchester, UK, Jane moved to Australia at the age of eight, where she spent part of her childhood in Boronia, Victoria, eventually becoming an Australian citizen. As a teenager, she returned to the UK with her family, residing in Hampshire before pursuing studies in English and History at the University of Kent in Canterbury. After completing her degree, she embarked on her journalism career with a traineeship at the Darlington & Stockton Times in County Durham.

Jane later worked as a senior news journalist for the Hull Daily Mail before relocating back to Australia in 2008. Her Australian journalism career began with the Geelong Advertiser and led to a position with Melbourne's Herald Sun in 2011. A turning point in her literary journey came in 2014 when a short story she wrote was selected for the Big Issue's annual Fiction Edition, motivating her to focus more on creative writing. This pivotal decision culminated in the success of "The Dry" at the Victorian Premier's Literary Awards in 2015. Currently, Jane resides in St Kilda with her husband and daughter.
