Order of Jenn McKinlay Books

Jenn McKinlay is an American novelist of cozy mystery novels. She has also written as Jennifer McKinlay, Josie Belle and Lucy Lawrence. Jenn writes the Decoupage Murder Mysteries, Cupcake Bakery Mysteries, Library Lover’s Mysteries, Good Buy Girls Mysteries and Hat Shop Mysteries series. Jenn spent years dreaming of becoming a romance author, then went to Southern Connecticut State University where she studied English Literature and Library Science. After working full-time as a librarian, she realized she couldn’t get any writing done while working full-time, so she packed up and moved all the way to Arizona to write romance novels. After a while, she realized she was better at killing people than making them fall in love, so she moved to mystery novels, which she continues to write to this day.

Jenn McKinlay became a published author in 2002 with the romantic comedy To Catch a Latte. Her first novel as Jenn McKinlay was in 2010, which was the Cupcake Bakery Mystery novel Sprinkle with Murder.

   Does anyone ever point out errors in your books? Sometimes when I’m reading I pick up small errors. Little things like in the book “Hitting The Books” it says Sully reaches over the console to steady Lindsey and then when they are leaving the scene she slides over to sit next to him. Just wondering if anyone reads the books before they are released to pick up any mistakes.

   I really am enjoying this series and will definitely start one of your other series when this one ends.

   Thanks,
