Jane Murray is a multi genre author who writes under her own name and under the pseudonym of D.C. Cummings. Her work ranges from historical supernatural tales to chick lit to psychological thrillers and her first foray into this particular genre, written as D.C. Cummings, is released on 1st October 2025 and more books in this genre are planned. Other forthcoming publications include a sequel to her debut novel, The Cottage, which is still Provoco Publishing’s number one best seller, a cosy crime novella and a historical wartime family saga!

After a career in law, and jet setting around the world as part of her late partner’s company that refurbished cruise liners, where she was Project Co-ordinator, Jane has now settled down to write in a four-hundred-year-old cottage on the English / Welsh borders. In January 2025, she suffered a life-threatening injury and two strokes, so she is extremely grateful both to the NHS, and God, for still be here and being able to write.

 As the owner of Provoco Publishing, Jane is a strong proponent of independent publishing and will work with un-agented authors because she says it cuts out the middleman and leads to a better working relationship between author and publisher.

Jane lives alone but spends a lot of time being active in her village and church communities to stop her becoming a hermit, she says. In her spare time, she reads, walks and gardens, although not at the same time.
