Janet Evanovich was born Janet Schneider in South River, New Jersey on April 22, 1943. She studied art for four years at Rutgers’ Douglass College of Art.
Janet married Peter Evanovich in 1964 and they have two children, Peter and Alexandra. She became a home maker and after developing an allergy to pigment, started writing romance novels in her thirties using the pseudonym, Steffie Hall.
After many failed attempts at being published, Janet took a secretarial job with a temp agency. A few months later she got a call to publish ‘Hero at Large.’ She quit her temp job and started writing romances novels full time.
Later, Janet started writing in the mystery genre and in 1994; her first Stephanie Plum book was published. The central character, Stephanie Plum, is an inept bounty hunter. These ‘light-hearted’ mysteries, with a touch of romance, will keep you laughing and wondering when the next book will hit the shelf. Janet claims that, "If we can laugh at something, we can face it."
She sold the movie rights for these books to Columbia Tristar, but so far no movies have been made. Janet said she had envisioned Sandra Bullock as Stephanie Plum, but Sandra Bullock is getting too old now.
The family moved to New Hampshire in 1995 where Janet started her own company, called Evanovich, Inc. Her husband runs the business, her son, Peter does all things financial and daughter, Alex created and runs the website and writes the newsletter.
Janet has received many awards for her Romance, mysteries and thrillers. In 2010, her and her daughter will be coming out with some graphic novels for ‘Dark Horse Comics.’ They will be based on her Alexandra Barnaby series. In an interview she said, "It allows me to feed my NASCAR addiction and comic book addiction all at the same time."
