If there is such a thing as a writing machine, Janet Evanovich is it. And that is meant as a compliment. She started in her 30s beginning with serious novels that didn’t get published before diving into romance where she was productive and successful. She then developed the character for which she is most well-known, Stephanie Plum, a New Jersey bounty hunter with quirky friends and family. As of this writing, she has published 27 books in that series with number 28 coming out in November of 2021. 

Remarkably, she has at least three other series: Fox & O’Hare, Wicked, and Knight & Moon written solely or in collaboration with others. What distinguishes her writing is its fast-pace, large doses of humor, snappy dialogue and action that have made her a #1 Bestseller for years. 

She even has her own company!
