The Top of the South Branch of the New Zealand Society of Authors

Jacquelyn E. Lane


My writing focuses primarily on the dance between our spiritual nature and its human personality expression and how that in turn affects our relationship with Nature.
 
I am a New Zealand author, artist and educator, supporting my work with nearly fifty years of metaphysical studies and a wealth of overseas living and travel. I have a social science degree but, while sorely tempted to continue in academia, I opted to pursue careers in both art and writing.
 
My latest book, DEVA: Our Relationship with the Subtle World was shortlisted for the 2019 Ashton Wylie Unpublished Manuscript Awards. It is now a Findhorn Press book, (pub. Inner Traditions, USA). I have also written and illustrated The Children of Gaia, an eco-spiritual novel on the problems facing the forests of the world and their deva inhabitants; illustrated a children’s book, Once in a Blue Moon (Random House NZ); and scribed This World of Echoes: A Divine Guide to Being Human.
 
I share both my understanding of metaphysics and artistic expertise via talks and workshops. I joined NZSA some years ago after relinquishing membership of the Society of Authors (UK) when I moved back to New Zealand after several years overseas.
