Jane the Virginfans have Swipebeen through a lot of emotional hoops since the show started in 2014, and losing Michael (Brett Dier) was the hardest of all. The show dealt with his exit gracefully, never letting us forget this character's vast importance; now, as Season 4 introduces a new love interest and pushes Jane (Gina Rodriguez) further into adulthood, we get to revisit her time with Michael in the form of a historical romance novel.

Snow Falling, Jane's debut novel, took shape throughout Season 3 and was eventually bought by a publisher (the fictitious imprint Lorden + Gregor) – and will be in bookstores soon.

"I'm so thrilled that Adams Media as Lorden + Gregor is bringing Jane's first novel to life and I can't wait for fans to get to read it!" showrunner Jennie Urman said in a press release. "Prepare to get swept up in an epic love story."

“We’re huge fans of the show and the way Jennie and her team tease ‘reality’ in such a fantastic and purposeful way," added Adams Media VP and Publisher Karen Cooper. "It just felt right that we should riff off that conceit and give Jane’s fans the HEA they have been waiting for.”

The novel is described as "a sweeping historical romance set in 1902 Miami — a time of railroad tycoons, hotel booms, and exciting expansion for The Magic City." In an exclusive excerpt for Mashable, "Josephine" tells "Martin" that she was "inappropriate" with "Rake Solvino." Translation: This is the moment from Season 1 when Jane told Michael she had kissed Rafael. Cue the feels!

Urman and Madeline Hendricks worked on the novel outline, as well as direction on specific plot points in the story. Bestselling author Caridad Pineiro (One Summer Night) penned the final result, but the blurb and author bio commit to the fantasy that this book is by and about Jane Villanueva.

Jane The Virgin,the AFI, and Peabody Award–winning dramedy, has followed Jane Villanueva’s (played by Golden Globe-winner Gina Rodriguez) telenovela-esque life for three seasons—from her accidental artificial insemination and virgin birth, through a tumultuous who-will-she-choose love triangle.  Jane’s fervent ambition has been to become a romance novelist, and this past spring her burgeoning talent was discovered at Miami’s prestigious “Ones to Read” series by local publisher Lorden + Gregor. Now, Jane’s highly-anticipated debut novel, SNOW FALLING (November 28, 2017; Trade Paperback; Imprint: Lorden + Gregor), is becoming a reality. 

About the Author:

A lifelong fan of romance novels and telenovelas, Jane Gloriana Villanueva has worked as a publisher’s assistant at Silver Horizons and dating columnist forCosmopolitanonline. She is now thrilled to be publishing her first novel. Snow Falling is a sweeping historical romance based on Jane’s now-notorious true story of being accidentally artificially inseminated as a Catholic virgin, becoming the target of the nefarious crime lord Sin Rostro, and ultimately marrying her true love who died tragically young.
