Jaye Roycraft, wasn’t sure what she wanted to be
when she grew up. A teacher? Not for long. A
salesclerk? Not again! A computer systems analyst?
Better! But that career, as good as it was, was a victim
of a mid-life crisis. The answer? Start two new careers
after the age of forty.
Jaye became a big-city police officer at forty-one,
shocking friends and family. But as challenging as
that job was, something was missing in her life.
Throughout her various careers, one thing remained
a constant - Jaye’s love of books. Classics, mysteries,
non-fiction- all had their time. Two genres stood out,
though, science fiction and romance. When Jaye
started her writing career, it seemed natural to
combine her two favorites and write a futuristic
romance. The result was Rainscape, her debut novel.
Her contemporary vampire romance series, Double
Image, Afterimage, Shadow Image, and Immortal
Image, followed. Jaye is also the author of a romantic
suspense, Aces, and her new vampire Hell series is
currently out for submission.
So far, most of Jaye’s novels have cops or ex-cops as
heroes or heroines. Jaye worked as a police officer
for the Milwaukee Police Department from 1993 to
2001 in a variety of assignments, including patrol
officer, wagon driver, jail matron, and with the Street
Crimes Unit. With Street Crimes, Jaye did everything
from working event security to assisting the Tactical
Enforcement Unit with drug raids and tactical setups.
Jaye has presented workshops, been a contest judge,
and was a panelist at Dragon*Con in 2003. She
continues to present online workshops, and has a
new police procedural workshop scheduled with the
KOD (Kiss of Death) chapter of RWA for May of 2007.
Jaye still lives in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, but now works
in the slightly less dangerous field of commercial
insurance.
