Janet evanovich author biography

Bestselling author Janet Evanovich tells us about her writing partnership with her daughter and how grateful she is for her family. Janet Evanovich is an American writer. She began her career writing romance novels under the pseudonym Steffie Hall. In in the UK she published her first book in a series of contemporary mysteries featuring Stephanie Plum, a former lingerie buyer from Trenton, New Jersey who becomes a bounty hunter to make ends meet after losing her job.

The novels became instant bestsellers. Janet has over million books in print worldwide and her books have been translated into over 40 languages. When I was a little girl, I always made up stories but never really considered writing. I was an artist. In fact, I majored in art in college with hopes of a career in painting. My world came crashing down when I discovered that those nagging rashes I often suffered were due to the pigment in paints.

When I was young, I read a fair amount, but nothing that would qualify as great literature. I was, and still am, a sucker for comic books.

Janet evanovich books in order

I love everything Disney and still read Scrooge McDuck comics. I got a hankering to write when my kids were little. I wrote three romance novels over 10 years while they were in school during the day before I made my first sale. It's hard to believe that it's been a quarter century. I think I have the same relationship with Stephanie and the gang that I've always had especially since, in Plum World, the characters never age.
