Jane R. Miles
Jane R. Miles is the author of the upcoming psychological thriller Stay Buried, to be published in 2026 by HQ, an imprint of HarperCollins.
Born in the suburbs of Perth, Western Australia, Jane joined the Royal Australian Navy at twenty, travelling the world before working in top-secret roles within the Department of Defence.
She rediscovered her love of fiction writing during Melbourne's lockdowns, and now lives in the Netherlands with her wife, and their Australian-born cat.
Jane is fascinated by the quiet darkness found in nature, and within us all.
The cyclone passed.
The nightmare remained.
On Christmas Eve 1974, Cyclone Tracy tore through Darwin, just as four girls vanished into the Outback.
Decades later, only one returns. She offers no explanation, no proof of who she is, only a keepsake that once belonged to a woman long presumed dead.
As desperate families search for answers, a dark history unravels: a hidden bunker, a ghost, a View-Master, and a little girl who may have known far more than she should.
Inspired by real-life events, Stay Buried is the haunting tale of survival, secrets, and the legend that refused to die.
