I am a poet who also writes commercial fiction under various names. As Jane Holland, I received an Eric Gregory Award for my poetry in 1996 and published my first poetry collection, 'The Brief History of a Disreputable Woman' shortly after that with Bloodaxe Books. Later, I moved to Salt Publishing, and published my second collection, 'Boudicca and Co', followed by 'Camper Van Blues'.
As Warwick Poet Laureate, I published several pamphlets. 'On Warwick Castle' deals with the history of Warwick Castle from medieval times to the present day. The other is a translation of the elegiac Anglo-Saxon poem, 'The Wanderer'. This was published with facing text Anglo-Saxon by Heaventree Press, and later in 'Camper Van Blues'. It is also now available as a separate Kindle edition, as is my second collection, 'Boudicca & Co'.
I hope you enjoy reading my work. Best, Jane
