J.B. Hawker

J.B. is a woman of a certain age with a lot of living behind her, who looks forward to all the great adventures ahead.

J.B. mines the richness of her history as a pastor’s wife in small communities all over the Western United States to people her not-quite-cozy mystery/thrillers. (If you’ve ever attended a small town church, you may even recognize some of the characters.)

Writing from a Christian perspective, her stories include men and women at all stages in their faith walk, along with some truly scary villains.

J.B. hopes her readers appreciate main characters who struggle with their faith as real Christians do and that non-believers will get a peek at Christian life beyond media stereotypes.

After twenty years serving small churches from Alaska to South Dakota, J.B.Hawker returned to her California roots to start over in mid-life as a single business woman, inspirational speaker and award-winning author.

J.B. has published many articles on faith and ministry.

"Hollow" the first book in the Bunny Elder series and winner of the B.R.A.G. Medallion Award, was her first published fiction.

J.B. has three grown sons. Her oldest lived for many years in northern Italy, giving J.B the opportunity to visit this beautiful country, the setting of the second book in the series, "Vain Pursuits" also a B.R.A.G. Medallion winner.
