After Devil's Claw, will there be anymore Joanne Brady novels? I enjoy these books and hope that there will be more.

Dear J.A. JANCE: I live in Apache Junction, AZ and saw the item in the local paper a few wks ago about you visiting your parents a few blocks from where I live. I belong to the Apache Junction Writer's Club...we meet days every first and third Wednesday of the month, nights: every 2nd and 4th Thursday of the month. Is it possible that the next time you visit your parents, you could maybe come and give a lil talk to our talented group? My number is 480-671-1303 if you think this could ever happen in my lifetime. We would be so thrilled if you could come and see us for a few minutes. We meet at the Apache Junction library. Thank you for your time. Sandy Thompson

I read J. A. Jance for a long time before discovering she was a woman. Her J.P. Beaumont books are the greatest detective stories ever - had a hard time accepting this was written by a female from a male perspective. She is truly the most gifted and talented storyteller of our time!

I finally discovered J.A. Jance a couple of years ago. I wanted something to read and found one of her books from the Beaumont series. I read it in one day and went back to the store to try and find every book in the series so I could read them from the start. I also picked up her Joanna Brady novels, which are great reads too. Her books are like Lay's potato chips, you can't read just one. I look forward to every new book with great anticipation. Thank you J.A. Jance and keep those books coming!

I like the Brady books, but not the Beaumont ones. This is odd for me because, usually, if I enjoy an author I like everything he/she writes.

I understand that J.A.Jance has a new book due out in August 2003. Any information available? Will there be any author visits in Seattle or Spokane?
