Author Spotlight- Joanne Fluke

Today's Spotlighted author is Joanne Fluke! Joanne is the author of the Hannah Swenson Mystery Series. Have you read this series? Do you have a favorite one in the series?








Like Hannah Swensen, Joanne Fluke grew up in a small town in rural Minnesota where her neighbors were friendly, the winters were fierce, and the biggest scandal was the spotting of unidentified male undergarments on a young widow’s clothesline. She insists that there really are 10,000 lakes and the mosquito is NOT the state bird.

While pursuing her writing career, Joanne has worked as: a public school teacher, a psychologist, a musician, a private detective’s assistant, a corporate, legal, and pharmaceutical secretary, a short order cook, a florist’s assistant, a caterer and party planner, a computer consultant on a now-defunct operating system, a production assistant on a TV quiz show, half of a screenwriting team with her husband, and a mother, wife, and homemaker.

She now lives in Southern California with her husband, her kids, his kids, their three dogs, one elderly tabby, and several noisy rats in the attic.

  3. I love the series although I have only been reading it for about 10 years. I don't think I can pick a favorite but I love the fact that Ms Fluke has allowed character development over the years. I adore the sisters.

  4. One of my favorite series. No favorite book in series; I'm sure I enjoy them all. Just got the latest one from the library. I've been reading them since there were only about two books in the series. I remember discovering and buying Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder (book # 1) at Barnes & Noble because I was drawn to the cute cover of an animal cookie jar with its mouth open (Oh no, there's been a murder!).
