On this day, April 22, in 1943, Janet Evanovich was born in South River, New Jersey. After college, her life started off traditionally as a housewife and mother; it wasn’t until she was in her mid-40s that her first work, a contemporary romance, was published. But her heart was more into action than genre romance, so she turned to writing adventure mysteries – and never looked back. Many of her books have been on numerous influential bestseller lists, and 17 of her Stephanie Plum novels have debuted at the top of the New York Times Best Sellers List.
