Thank you for visiting my author page. It's great to be able to say hello to readers and thank you for your support and interest in my books. I really appreciate feedback so do please get in touch via twitter @janethynne or on my Facebook page Facebook.com/AuthorJaneThynne/ or my website Janethynne.com. I was born in Venezuela, went to school in London and then to Oxford University where I read English. After that I had an absorbing time as a BBC journalist, before moving to Fleet Street and working at the Sunday Times, The Daily Telegraph and The Independent, as well as numerous magazines. I also broadcast on Radio 4. I have three children, a cat and a dachshund and we live in London. Black Roses, the first novel featuring Clara Vine, an Anglo-German actress and British spy in pre-war and wartime Berlin, was a number 1 bestseller in Kindle historical fiction. My aim was to set thrillers around a character who mingles dangerously with the Nazi elite and to provide a glimpse of the private life of the Third Reich. I also wanted to take a look at the side of wartime Germany that gets so much less attention - the lives of the women. It's been exciting to trace the development of Clara Vine from the moment she steps off a train at Friedrichstrasse station in 1933 at the age of 26, through the mounting tension of the pre-war years and right into Germany at war. Writing the series has been a revelation to me and I hope you'll come with me on Clara's journey.
