Welcome to the Jane V. Blanchard author page. I write nonfiction books about hikes that I have taken. My first long-distance hike inspired four books about the Camino de Santiago, a 500-mile pilgrimage across northern Spain and ending at the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela. Then, a walk across England lead to the award-winning book Hadrian's Wall Path: Walking into History. Recently, I co-authored a book with my husband and hiking companion, Dennis Blanchard, A Short Walk on the Long Trail: A Couple's Sauntering on the Vermont Long Trail.

As I began my writing career, I blogged about writing and becoming an author. That blog, My Musings, is now archived, but all the valuable information is still available to you on this site. I hope future authors will find my thoughts about becoming an "authorpreneur," including book promotion, marketing, publishing, and writing helpful.

Feel what it is like to be on the Camino through poems and illustrated quotes.
