Evanovich, Janet: - Janet Evanovich is the author of the Stephanie Plum books, including One for the Money and Sizzling Sixteen , and the Diesel & Tucker series, including Wicked Appetite .
Janet\'s favorite exercise is shopping, and her drug of choice is Cheeze Doodles..
The rest is history.
After a dozen romance novels, she switched to mystery, and created Stephanie Plum.
She immediately quit her job and started working full-time as a writer.
But after a few months of secretarial work, she managed to sell her first novel for $2,000.
As she puts it, When the box was full I burned the whole damn thing, crammed myself into pantyhose and went to work for a temp agency.
She didn\'t have instant success: she collected a big box of rejection letters.
Janet studied painting at Douglass College, but that art form never quite fit, and she soon moved on to writing stories.
