Jeanne was born into an Irish-American family, the only girl in a family with four brothers. Her Irish grandmother lived with them, and was a constant source of stories about life in Ireland and the saints and ancestors long gone from this earth. She credits her mother, her aunts, and grandmother for her love of storytelling. Today she lives in Coastal San Diego with her fabulous husband, and six disobedient rose bushes.
Jeanne writes stories set in Ireland or stateside with Irish American characters.
A forthcoming novel, The Girl in the Folly, is a contemporary women's fiction story set in Ireland.
Finding a bog body on the first day of construction is no way for an American heiress to start a project in a small Irish village---though these days, family scandal seems on brand for the Doyle sisters.
