Biography

J.M. Lane is an Amazon #1 bestselling and award-winning Irish author, best known for The Things We Kept and Setanta and the Lady by the Water: The Raven Chronicles Book 1.

Originally from Ennis, Co. Clare on Ireland’s west coast, Lane moved to Sligo at nineteen to work as an artist. Before turning to writing full time, he worked in many fields including art, social care, digital design, policing, and even chimney sweeping.

In 2024, after a cancer diagnosis, he decided his dream of writing could wait no longer. That leap of faith led to the creation of The Raven Chronicles and to Setanta and the Lady by the Water receiving the Five Star Award from the Open Book Awards.

J.M. Lane has since become a bestselling author in both Ireland and the United States, writing stories that blend Irish myth, family, and the quiet magic of ordinary life. He continues to write from the northwest of Ireland, where Atlantic winds and old legends guide his words each day.
