HELLO AND THANK YOU FOR VISITING MY WEBSITE.


If you are looking for smart, funny stories with a hint of mystery thrown in, you've come to the right place!

Praise for A Summer of Surprises...

"Jan delivers an enticing story with well-drawn characters and I loved the great mixture of characters featured in this book. We’re brought people of all ages from Eleanor’s likeable son Joe, in his early-twenties, to Eleanor herself who is fifty and then to her mother Connie and kind-of granddad Harold, who is in his eighties. There’s such a lively cast here, with endearing friendships and full-of-heart personalities."
 

Praise for The Bookshop Detective...

"The best way that I can describe The Bookshop Detective is a Nancy Drew meets a heavenly coastal set up with intriguing and suddenly suspicious characters. Of course most of the characters aren't actually suspicious, but because there is a history being unfolded I immediately jump to my inner sleuth to find the truth of the mystery. There was only one problem I had with the book and that was that at some point I had to finish it."

 

Praise fo French Kisses and a London Affair....

"These two novellas are a real treat! Loaded with Jan Ellis’ trademark wit, humour and warmth, both stories will pull you into their world and leave you wanting more. It’s not just that Ellis tells a cracking story, it’s that the quality of the writing takes you there in style. I can’t wait to read the rest of her work!"
