New York Times Bestselling, USA Today Bestselling, and Amazon Bestselling author

Hi there! I’m Joanna Campbell Slan, and I’m absolutely thrilled you’ve found your way to my corner of the internet.

If you love cozy mysteries that make you laugh out loud, keep you guessing until the very last page, and feature characters who feel like your best friends, then you’ve come to the right place! I write stories about spunky women who find themselves in extraordinary (and often dangerous) situations—usually involving crafts, community, and the occasional dead body.

My flagship series, set in St. Louis, follows Kiki Lowenstein, a recently widowed mom who transforms from timid housewife to fearless amateur sleuth. Cara Mia Delgatto is a spin-off character who lives in Florida and solves mysteries while turning trash into treasure with an eye toward sustainable living. The Friday Night Mystery Club, set in the Midwest in 1986, is a blast from the past as five friends struggle to make it in a man’s world. The Jane Eyre Chronicles, set in 1830s England, continues Charlotte Brontë’s classic, refashioning Jane as an amateur sleuth.

What sets my mysteries apart? I believe in the power of community, the healing nature of creativity, and the strength we all have inside us—even when we don’t think we do. My books tackle real issues with compassion while serving up engaging puzzles, authentic relationships, and enough twists to keep you turning pages late into the night.

Whether you’re new to cozy mysteries or a seasoned sleuth yourself, I promise you’ll find characters worth caring about, mysteries worth solving, and maybe even pick up a crafting tip or two along the way.

Ready to dive in? Start with any book that catches your eye—each can be read as a standalone, though once you try one of my books, I have a feeling you’ll want to read them all.

Happy reading, and welcome to the family!

Warmly,
Joanna
