Janet Evanovich is the author of the famous 'Stephanie Plum' novels. She has already released twelve books in this series, with a thirteenth on the way. Janet Evanovich was born in South river, NJ and studied art at Douglas College, NJ. After finishing her studies, she decided to get into writing, and her first ever story was about the pornographic adventures of a fairy who lived in a small fairy forest in Pennsylvania. She wrote a number of weird, eccentric stories and sent them to agencies, but all were unfortunately rejected. Four months into her secretarial job, she got a call from an editor offering to buy one of her romance stories. After this, she jumped into writing romantic novels for five years and came up with twelve of them. She later created the character of Stephanie Plum, who was a lingerie buyer from Trenton, NJ. Stephanie loses her job and becomes a bounty hunter. These novels include other funny characters like Grandma Mazur. In 1995, Evanovich moved to New Hampshire with her husband and continued writing novels and also started a family business, Evanovich Inc. Pete, her husband and her son Peter take care of the financial aspect of the business, while her daughter, Alex later joined in as a designer. Janet's 'Stephanie Plum' novels have won a number of awards like the Crime Writers' Association, the John Creasey Memorial Dagger, the CWA Last Laugh Award, the CWA Silver Dagger and the Dylis Award. Her novels often make bestsellers lists in the US as well as in Europe. Her earlier romantic novels like Full House and Back to the Bedroom have also received positive reviews. |
