Writer Profiles

JAN STROUP‘s journey reflects a spirit of adventure, faith, and a passion for lifelong learning. In 2006, following God’s prompting, she and her husband, along with their young family, took a leap of faith and relocated to New Zealand — a country they had never been to before. Enjoying writing since childhood, when her earliest stories were pounded out on a manual typewriter, and with a milestone birthday on the horizon, Jan is now embracing a long-held dream: to write and publish her first cozy mystery. Along with focusing her creativity into sleuthing, she enjoys hobbies like painting, cooking, travel, jigsaw puzzles, and Mahjong. Jan currently works full-time as an Executive Assistant.
