About the Author: Janet Evanovich

Janet Evanovich, the author of the current novel I'm reading, titled "One for the Money". This is the first book in the Stephanie Plum series. Janet Evanovich (formally Janet Schneider) was born on April 22nd, 1943. Her Stephanie Plum novels are her most best selling novers, and have made it on the New York Times and also the Amazon bestseller lists. She was also the first in her family to attend college; where she decided to attend Douglass College. When she first started her career, she went straight into writing romance novels, where she went under the pseudonym "Steffie Hall". Her first Stephanie Plum novel "One for the Money" was released as a movie starring Katherine Heigl in January 2012. Janet has 2 kids, a son and a daughter. They are both grown and work at their mother's business- "Evanovich, Inc.". Her daughter work the web and the technological sites, while her son works the financial side of the business. Her online business consists of contact information as well as fan merchandise, ranging from hats and t-shirts to survival packs created from and based on her Stephanie Plum novels. Her fanbase is focused on her most popular Stephanie Plum novels, which are myterey genre novels, about Plum going from a small town lingerie seller to a bounty hunter when she reaches rock bottom. Despite her lack of money, she meets many amazing and helpful people along the way, including the target of her occupation- Joe Morelli. Joe was her neighbor growing up, and was also the danger of the neighborhood: adults always telling Stephanie to stay away from him, and never get one-to-one with him. Yet Stephanie was very curious as to why every adult would tell her to stay away from Morelli. She had a few incidents where her curiosity got the best of her and he took advantage of her, and also periodically screwed up her life while permanently altering her perspective of society. Now, as a bounty hunter, she is more determined than ever to get her revenge on Morelli.
