Janet Evanovich

Janet Evanovich was born in 1943 in New Jersey. In 1965, Janet graduated with a degree in Art from Douglass College (Rutgers University) in New Brunswick, NJ. After college, she began working in an office, but began writing stories on the side and sending them into editors. When an editor finally bought one of her stories, she began writing romance novels full-time. After she had written 12 romance novels, she then decided to move onto mystery novels. In order to write these novels, she decided to get into character and learned how to shoot and spent a lot of time with law enforcement. When she was through with this “training”, that is when she created the famous Stephanie Plum novels.
