Jane O’Neal

Jane was born in Elizabeth City and also spent some time in her youth bouncing around the mountainous regions of Tennessee, and also Maryland, before landing squarely in Beaufort County where she attended Bath High School.

She sought out higher learning at Roanoke Bible College before enlisting in the National Guard and was active for twenty-five years before retiring in 2012, and can now often be found on her porch, novel in hand.

Jane’s parents are Geneive Lilley and the late Bruce Hardin. She was blessed with three children: Adam Tyndall, the late Matt Tyndall, and Josh Paul.
