Author bio

Hannah Jayne writes twisty stories for readers who like their mysteries with either a supernatural bite or a very human bad decision at the center. Her books tend to move fast, but they also leave room for humor, awkwardness, and the feeling that ordinary life can tip into danger with very little warning.

She has said that she decided to become a writer in second grade, after a teacher named Vi Sullivan helped unlock that idea for good. The project was a twelve-page story that she now remembers as pretty awful. What mattered was not whether the story worked. It was the realization that making up people, trouble, and whole little worlds felt natural to her.

Years later, after a rough stretch in adulthood, she came back to writing in a much more serious way. She has described sitting down in her childhood bedroom and finally writing the novel that would start her career. That late return still feels important when you look at her books. Even when the premise is wild, the emotions underneath it usually feel grounded.

Her first published novel, Under Wraps, kicked off the Underworld Detection Agency books, a paranormal mystery series built around Sophie Lawson, a very human employee in a very supernatural San Francisco. Readers who click with that series usually stay for the mix of murder cases, office chaos, vampires, werewolves, and Sophie’s running commentary as she tries to keep up. Books like Under Attack, Under Suspicion, and Under the Final Moon widen the mythology, but they keep the same fast, funny, slightly frazzled energy.

She also writes young adult suspense, and that side of her work leans darker. In Truly, Madly, Deadly, a grieving girl realizes someone is watching her a little too closely. See Jane Run starts with a family secret and keeps peeling it back. The Girl in the Headlines, What Happened on Hicks Road, and We Did Nothing Wrong all play with memory, suspicion, missing people, and the awful feeling that the people nearest to you may be hiding the biggest truth. Jayne is especially good at writing teens who are scared, stubborn, and not always sure they can trust their own read on events.

She can go lighter, too.

Before the YA thrillers took over, she also wrote Rebound Guy, a contemporary novel about heartbreak, rebounds, and starting over. Across genres, a few things stay steady. She likes sharp chapter endings, messy relationships, and protagonists who are in over their heads but keep moving anyway. California shows up again and again as a backdrop, sometimes sunny and everyday, sometimes uncanny enough to make you glance over your shoulder.

Jayne lives in Silicon Valley, in the San Francisco Bay Area, with her husband, daughter, and cats. She teaches at the Teen Writer’s Institute, leads workshops, and has spoken openly about surviving cancer. That mix of candor, dark humor, and persistence feels very much in step with the books themselves.

She likes trouble on the page, and she knows how to keep it moving.
