About Me

John Lane writes under the pen name J.M. Lane. He is an award-winning, bestselling Irish author known for weaving Irish mythology with contemporary emotional realism. His work often explores fatherhood, identity, loss, and the inheritance of myth through a distinctly Irish lens.

With academic foundations in science, fine art, and policing law, alongside postgraduate qualifications at certificate, diploma, and degree level, his writing is informed by both analytical discipline and artistic instinct. His fiction ranges from mythic fantasy in The Raven Chronicles to literary thrillers rooted in rural Ireland.
He lives in Ireland with his wife and children, who remain the quiet heartbeat behind his work.
