Jane Buckley, born in Derry/Londonderry, Northern Ireland, is the author of the Stones Corner series, consisting of four volumes: Turmoil, Darkness, Light, and Hope. She spent a significant part of her life in London, England, and later moved to Nice, France, before returning to her native country in 2017. She currently resides in Donegal, Ireland, with her husband, John.
Buckley's series, Stones Corner, is a work of historical fiction that draws from her personal experiences growing up in Northern Ireland during "The Troubles," a period of violent conflict in the country. She was motivated to write the series to provide an accurate and unbiased account of the events that transpired during that time, as she noticed a lack of understanding and misinformation about the conflict, particularly in mainland Britain. The series aims to answer questions about the causes, duration, and impact of the Troubles.
In her writing, Buckley combines her life experiences with fictional elements to create a thrilling journey that explores themes of heartache, bravery, treachery, and tragic love. She hopes to help others understand the realities of life during the Troubles through her storytelling. Buckley's series has received an overwhelmingly positive response from readers, and she enjoys hearing from them directly at her email address. She currently works on bringing her stories to a wider audience, emphasizing the importance of not taking the current stability in Ireland for granted.
