Janet Evanovich (born Janet Schneider; April 22, 1943) is an American writer. She began her career writing short contemporary romance novels under the pen name Steffie Hall, but gained fame authoring a series of contemporary mysteries featuring Stephanie Plum, a former lingerie seller from Trenton, New Jersey, who becomes a bounty hunter to make ends meet after losing her job. The novels in this series have been on the ''New York Times'' and Amazon bestseller lists. == Early years == Evanovich is a second-generation American born in South River, New Jersey to a machinist and housewife.〔 After attending South River High School,〔Nussbaum, Debra. ("IN PERSON; Imagine Trenton. One Author Did." ), ''The New York Times'', November 3, 2002. Accessed March 20, 2011. "She graduated from South River High School, married her high school sweetheart and attended Douglass College.... If there is a typical career path for novelists, Mrs. Evanovich is certain that she has not followed it. After growing up in South River, she followed her husband, who was in the Navy, as he moved around the country, stayed at home and raised their two children and then, when she was in her 30's, decided that she wanted to write."〕 she became the first in her family to attend college when she enrolled at Douglass College, part of Rutgers University, to study art.〔〔 When Evanovich had children, she chose to become a housewife like her mother. In her thirties, she began writing novels.〔 To learn the art of writing dialog, Evanovich took lessons in improv acting.〔 For ten years, she attempted to write the Great American Novel, finishing three manuscripts that she was unable to sell. After someone suggested she try writing romance novels, Evanovich read several romances and discovered that she enjoyed the genre. She wrote two romances and submitted them for publishing. Still unable to find a publisher, Evanovich stopped writing and signed with a temporary employment agency. Several months after beginning work for them, she received an offer to buy her second romance manuscript for $2,000, which she considered an "astounding sum."
