Jan Dunlap

Jan Dunlap is the author of the Bob White Birder Murder Mysteries, a laugh-out-loud series following the adventures of high school counselor/expert birder Bob White, who has a bad habit of finding bodies while he birds. Drawing on her own love of birds, her keen ear for dialogue, and her interest in environmental concerns, Jan crafts murder mysteries peopled by characters so real, you'll want to invite them to dinner! Jan's memoir "Saved by Gracie: How a rough-and-tumble rescue dog dragged me back to health, happiness, and God" recounts her reluctant adoption of a dog that quickly (and surprisingly!) helped her overcome a growing anxiety disorder. As a result, Jan speaks frequently at libraries, birding festivals, pet events, and women's groups about her books and the value of the human-nature bond. A former college professor, Jan is now a multi-tasking full-time author, simultaneously plotting murder and walking Gracie. She welcomes visitors to her website at www.jandunlap.com.
