J.A. Jance

J.A. Jance è lo pseudonimo dell'autrice statunitense Judith Ann Jance, nota per il suo contributo ai generi del mistero e dell'orrore. I suoi editori le suggerirono di utilizzare lo pseudonimo neutro "J.A. Jance" per scrivere romanzi gialli con protagonista un detective maschile. Jance si è imposta come figura di spicco del genere, con una carriera che abbraccia molte opere di rilievo.

Judith Ann Jance, che scrive sotto lo pseudonimo J.A. Jance, è un'autrice bestseller del New York Times tra i primi 10 posti. Ha scritto 46 contemporary mystery in quattro serie diverse, tra cui la serie J.P. Beaumont, la serie Joanna Brady, tre thriller interrelati con la famiglia Walker e la serie Ali Reynolds. Nata nel South Dakota e cresciuta a Bisbee, in Arizona, Jance attualmente risiede a Seattle, Washington, e Tucson, Arizona, con il marito.

L'amore di Jance per i misteri iniziò in tenera età, essendo stata una lettrice appassionata di Nancy Drew e della serie Travis Magee di John D. McDonald. Era naturale che quando scrisse il suo primo libro, fosse un mistero. Jance è una scrittrice e sostenitrice dedicata di varie cause, tra cui l'American Cancer Society, Gilda's Club, la Società Umana, lo YMCA e le Girl Scouts. È anche un'amante degli animali e ha un salotto Dachshund di nome Bella, salvato.
