A lifelong resident in the Hudson Valley, New York, she embarked on a writing career in 1946, working on both the Coxsackie Union News and the Greene County Examiner Recorder. She wrote and edited a 52-page centennial edition of the former paper, which won the New York Publishers Association prize for the best single issue of a weekly newspaper published in the state in 1951.
Her first book, The Long March, was published in 1955. Her next novel, The Carolinians (1959), was a selection of the Dollar Book Club. Four further novels followed: A Time in the Sun (1962); A Shadow of Eagles (1964); Maximilian’s Gold (1967); and Grass Roots (1968), a historical fiction novel based on a political campaign by Hamilton Fish, Jr. which was managed by her husband’s firm, John Barry Associates.
Jane Barry was also an avid gardener, accomplished botanist and enthusiastic bird-watcher.
She died in 2001 at the age of 76.voir moins
