Jan Markley: Jan can spot a cliché at ten paces but never met a comma she didn’t splice. Jan has a profound, and somewhat disturbing, addiction to sour ju jubes. Jan worships the sasquatch as a superhero for writers for his ability to eschew human contact and spend long hours in his cave. She loves lentil soup more than lentil soup loves itself. When not picking cat hair off her sweater, Jan can be found in her sasquatch writing cave with a mug of chai tea writing her next work in progress. Dead Frog on the Porch is her debut mystery novel for young readers (Gumboot Books 2009). The second book in the MegaByte Mystery series Dead Bird through the Cat Door launched in 2010.
