Jan Christensen

Jan Christensen grew up in New Jersey and now resides in Texas. Her list of published novels and short stories is growing, year by year.

It all started with "Sara's Search" back in 2004. Still available for Kindle, it's out of print now. But after that came "Revelations," first in the Valleyview Series. A few years later, "Blackout" was number two in that series. The Tina Tales series about a professional personal organizer and time management expert in Newport, RI, came along, and the four mystery novels so far in that series are: "Organized to Death," "Buried Under Clutter," "Cluttered Attic Secrets," and "Organized to Kill." And there's more! The Paula Mitchell, PI, series started with "Perfect Victim," followed by "A Broken Life," "Secrets Exposure," and "Haunting Dreams." Also available is a long short story staring Paula, "Paula's Elephant."

Jan's had over seventy short stories appear in various places over the last dozen years, two of which were nominated for a Derringer Award. She has a series of short stories called the Artie Crimes about an intrepid burglar who always seems to get entangled in some woman's dilemma. Three of her previously published short stories are in the "Warning Signs 1" collection, with more to come.

A member of Mystery Writer's of America and Sisters in Crime, she's also past president of the Short Mystery Fiction Society.

Jan mainly enjoys writing mysteries, but every once in a while steps out of that comfort zone and goes for something else. When not writing and reading, she's hanging out on most of the social networking sites and doing email. Learn more at her website: www.janchristensen.com
