Jane Renshaw is the author of several psychological thrillers, including The Stepson, The Child Who Never Was, and the Pitfourie Series. Her writing career began after she discovered that she didn't have what it takes to be a scientist and shuffled sideways into scientific and medical editing. She lives in the northeast of Scotland, about a mile or so from the hamlet in which her great-great-grandmother, Jane Renshaw, lived and brought up eight children.
