Overview: Jane Rice was born Jane Theresa Dixon on April 30, 1913, in Owensboro, Kentucky, the daughter of Dr. James Thomas Dixon and Julia C. Lynch. After graduating in 1930 she attended Webster College in Webster Groves, Missouri, a Catholic women’s institution operated by the Sisters of Loretto.
In June 1936 Rice was married in Owensboro to John Thomas Rice took up writing while living there.
Rice’s fiction debut was with “The Dream” in the July 1940 issue of Unknown, edited by the legendary sf editor John W. Campbell. During the war she published ten stories in Unknown. Campbell purchased her first and only novel, Lucy, in 1943, and was holding it in inventory for a future issue when Unknown suddenly ceased publication late in 1943. Street & Smith held the manuscript for several years but after the war it vanished from their files, and Rice had failed to preserve a carbon copy. Despite efforts to trace it on the part of scholars and editors it has not been located.
After living in Chicago, Cleveland, and Darien, Connecticut, in 1960 the Rices settled in Greensboro, North Carolina.
In 1995 Necronomicon Press published Rice’s horror novelette The Sixth Dog as a chapbook. She did not live to see the publication of her second book, a collection of her short fiction called The Idol of the Flies and Other Stories, published by Midnight House in 2003 as a limited edition of 500 copies.
Jane Rice died on March 2, 2003 in Greensboro, North Carolina.
