Since retiring from The Vancouver Tool Corporation in 2022 I have been involved in providing articles on a variety of topics (travel, self improvement, health) on a voluntary basis. These tend to be written in the first person and sometimes are provided at the suggestion of the body I am writing for (for example, The University of British Columbia, Campus Resident Magazine) and sometimes on topics I want to write on (for example to Lowentropy)

FICTION: THE GAMES WOMEN PLAYPublished in late 2021 this is Jayne's first work of fiction...Set against the swirling activities in four Olympic Games host cities (Vancouver, London, Sochi and Tokyo) and culminating in Beijing during the 2022 winter games, four friends regularly get together to share their individual experiences, achievements, failures, goals and setbacks. What they rarely discuss are the events that led to the deaths of those once closest to them. The cities hosting the Games provide the place, time, and distraction for elite athletes to be celebrated, records to be broken, medals to be awarded and maybe for crimes to be hidden?www.jayneseagrave.com
