After high school, Jayne entered the world of advertising as a copywriter in New England. She then owned a successful advertising agency for three years before moving back to California in 1990 with her Marine husband, Christopher. She was Assistant Creative Director at the number one advertising agency in Orange County, California for two years.
When Jayne moved to Okinawa, Japan with her husband in 1992, she finally got the chance to pursue her heart's desire - writing. As Assistant Editor of the weekly newspaper Japan Update for three years, Jayne covered human interest and feature articles and honed her skills as a photographer. Jayne also collaborated with the Bank of the Ryukyus International Foundation in 1992 on two books --Okinawa Tour Guide and Folktales of Okinawa (both went into second printings and sold out within months). The bank graciously provided the Japanese text for her first children's book, Gil The Gecko, self-published in June of 1995 (it sold out within two weeks). Jayne also teamed up with Clyde "Bones" Rathbone in 1994 to produce the paperback novel Torment.
In June of 1995, Jayne took some ghost stories she had collected and published The Ghosts of Okinawa, freelanced articles for local newspapers, and contributed articles and photos for the 1995 50th Commemoration Issue of the Exploring Okinawa Travel Guide.
Five months after Jayne returned to the United States in July of 1995, she self-published Iwo Jima -- A Retrospective and published the third edition of The Ghosts of Okinawa in April of 2000.
