J.J. Clarke, award-winning author of the Kate Anderson Mystery Series, Deadly Ambition and Murder in The Villas, grew up in a magical corridor of Missouri, where Mark Twain got his inspiration, Walt Disney first drew Micky Mouse on a barn, and a young farm boy was accepted into West Point, and later became a general. (General John J. Pershing) She wrote her first short stories in fourth grade. The nuns did not approve, but the librarians loved them. Clarke spent her career in the State of Missouri where she wrote concise, factual reports for the court system, and served as a trainer in defense tactics, and gun qualifications. She retired as a state administrator. After marrying her husband, Barry Johnson, she wrote grants and assisted in restoring the Tillman House, an historic landmark museum in Brookfield, Missouri. Clarke uses her experience as a parole officer to write authentic characters with dynamic dialogue. She also brings her love for magic into her writing. The Kate Anderson Mystery series include the books: Dared to Run, Dared to Fly, Dared to Return, and Dared to Dream. Her latest books are The Susie Jones Cozy Mystery series: Deadly Ambition and Murder in The Villas.
