Jan Christensen

Jan Christensen, an author, has been writing and publishing short stories, most of them mysteries, for about fifteen years. As a consequence, she's had almost forty short stories published. Several of them are here on the website and there are links to a couple more. Her novel, "Sara's Search," is out now, and you can order an autographed copy directly from Jan (see link at left).

In the book, Sara Putnam has been searching for her biological father, Howard, for two years. When she finds him murdered, she looks for the who and the why. Along the way she meets with Howard's eccentric partner, Howard's ex-wife and their son who calls his mother "the bank," plus other assorted suspects. She also has to deal with her adopted mother's roadblocks, her crazy roommate's problems, sexual harassment at work and her best friend's strange illness. Will Sara find what she is looking for before it kills her?

I would love to know that writing my story, "Santa Solves a Murder," for the anthology helped raise a lot of money for Toys for Tots!

As traveler, Jan lives fulltime in a motorhome with her husband, Chris. They travel at will, frequently stopping in places for a month or so, then moving on. The first year they did most of the east coast; the second year all of the west coast; and the third year the east coast again. They get back to the Arlington, Texas, area where they started, every holiday season to be with family.
