She is a bestselling writer, whose novels are loved for their sense of humor and playful, dynamic action. She wrote a romantic adventure “One for the Money”, the first Stephanie Plum mystery novel.
She subsequently churned out nearly a dozen similarly themed books before growing restive and turning an eye toward the adventure genre. The book was published as Hero at Large in 1987 under the pseudonym Steffie Hall. After a decade of abortive efforts to publish her stories, she had one of her romance novels accepted by Berkley Books for its Second Chance at Love imprint. After trying to write the Great American Novel, she shifted her focus to different tales and submitting them for publication. She became a homemaker following the births of their two children, Peter Jr. Having married Peter Evanovich, a mathematician from Rutgers University, the previous year, she joined him on his travels around the country while he worked for the U.S. She studied painting at Rutgers University’s Douglass College, graduating with a bachelor’s degree in 1965. She is a second-generation borned in USA. (Sept.)įorecast: Thanks to Evanovich's sterling reputation and substantial fan base, sales won't falter much, but this trussed-up tale may fall flat for both her mystery-loving fans and readers seeking a truly contemporary romance.Janet Schneider was born on 22 April 1943 in South River, New Jersey, where she raised. Instead, the book's focus is on the slapstick comedy provided by the cast of wacky, though mostly loveable, eccentrics. The outcome of the artificial romance between Nick and Billie is obvious from the start, as is the identity of the intruder. Evanovich acknowledges in a note to readers that her plotting has gotten more intricate since this book was first written (she's right), but her attempt to rework a formulaic '80s love story for the new millennium doesn't come off. As if that isn't enough, Billie must also contend with a bomb-setting teenager, professional wrestlers, an outbreak of spiders and threats from a mysterious intruder. First, he takes care of her when a horse steps on her foot then, he arranges for his nutty cousin Deedee, a self-absorbed airhead, to board with Billie while her kids are away. Though she's hopeless at polo, Billie is so cute that Nick begins to invent excuses to spend time with her. Wealthy newspaper owner and horseman Nick Kaharchek meets divorced mom Billie Pearce when she makes polo lessons at his stables part of her summer self-improvement program. Reappears here in what the author calls a "bigger and better" form. Originally published in 1989 under the pen name Steffie Hall, Evanovich's comic romantic suspense novel Full House
