J.J.Clark, award-winning author of the Kate Anderson Mystery series Dared to Run and Dared to Return, draws on her extensive experience in law enforcement and her degree in psychology to craft compelling characters.
Clarke’s scenes arise from real-life experiences as a bond investigator, parole officer, and district administrator of the largest penitentiary in the state of Missouri.
She has been writing all her life, but when she joined a weekly critique group, her novels came to life. The group encouraged her to develop strong characters with authentic dialogue. Her heroines are funny, fearless, and tenacious.
“I hope my books are entertaining and thought-provoking. I wrote them for book clubs as short, weekend reads with topics for discussion at the end to promote engaged conversation.”
