Jane Goddard is a Florida native, a lover of the outdoors, and an avid reader. She holds a BA in English (World Literature) from the University of South Florida and a Master of Liberal Studies from Rollins College, as well as a law degree from Barry University School of Law. Bookstores and libraries are her natural habitat, when she's not out exploring and appreciating Florida's history, culture, and natural places, or pursuing her first love, horseback riding. Jane is the first woman to through-paddle the entire St. Johns River in a solo kayak.
