Janet Evanovich Bio
"You can take the girl out of Jersey, but you can't take Jersey out of the girl." So states popular mystery novelist
Janet Evanovich in the biographical sketch found at evanovich.com. Thank goodness for Jersey Girls! Because it's

mystery novels their unique flavor.¹
After graduating from South River High School, and spending four years at Douglas College, "honing my ability to wear torn Levis," Janet decided to apply her "slightly looney imagination" to writing stories. As is often the case (remember, A is for Alibi was Sue Grafton's eighth novel), she wasn't immediately successful. Finally, discouraged by accumulated rejections, she entered the workforce as a secretarial temp.¹
