Janet Evanovich is an American novelist best known for her Stephanie Plum mystery novels. Before she started the Stephanie Plum series, Evanovich wrote romance adventure novels under the pseudonym Steffie Hall. After writing a dozen romance novels, she got tired of writing sex scenes and decided she would rather write action, thus moving on with her career.

Janet Evanovich began her career back in 1987 when she made $2,000 for writing Hero At Large. Ever since then, she has been writing non-stop and tends to have an output of multiple novels per year. Below is the order in which Janet Evanovich’s novels were originally released in:
