About Jane O'Brien
Jane O'Brien discovered her love of writing at the age of ten when she wrote her first ten-chapter book in pencil on notebook paper. She passed it around to all of her friends at school and told them she wanted to be an author. And that planted the seed.
O'Brien's career life has been varied. She was a piano teacher for over 50 years, a librarian, and a professional proofreader. She is also interested in genealogy, having worked on her own family tree, as well as her husband's, for over 37 years, which helps to color most of her novels.
Today, as a grandmother, Jane is finally fulfilling her lifelong dream, after successfully having her nineteenth book published, which includes two trilogies, one five-book series, two Christmas novellas, and a time travel series. She lives in West Michigan and writes clean romance with a little history, mystery and family entanglements, all set in her part of the state.
The stories she weaves are about family and the intricate connections of relatives, past and present.

Blog postDid you ever wonder how I get inspired to write a story? I'll tell you how I thought of Yesterday's Tears. Over twenty years ago I went to an estate sale, and as I often do, I looked for antique quilts and stashes of old fabric. This quilt top is what I found that day. I believe it is from the thirties. The seams are pulling apart in some places so I always thought I would tighten them up someday and then finish the quilt the way it was meant to be.

Daniel has disappeared from 1881 and is back home in his own era, where he meets a strangely familiar woman in the cemetery named Virginia.

How does Daniel feel about the Dora lookalike? As time in 2025 progresses, the same moon of the 21st century shines down on the people of 1881.

Fran Clark’s grandmother has passed away, and she is assigned the task of going through her Gram’s personal items, deciding what to keep and what to discard. As she is going through desks and drawers, she comes across a key that opens Gram’s trunk, which is filled with quilts made by generations of Clark women.

Trey is a returning veteran of the U.S. Marines, a hero with the highest honors. But as all soldiers discover, serving our country can bring memories of agonizing times he would prefer to bury. One day, a trigger mechanism causes those memories to surface and eventually boil over, creating pain for all of those who love him.
When he meets a young and beautiful single mother named Sara at a chance car accident, his world is turned upside down. Flashes of Afghanistan, haunting dreams, and unanswered questions come flooding in upon him, and it seems the bottle is the only thing that can keep them at bay.
