Chanugiving, since my son-in-law is Jewish and Thanksgiving falls on Chanukah. "I'm related to Grandma Mazur! Thanksgiving this year will be at my house. Is it as zany as the Plums? What is Thanksgiving like at the Evanovich household? I think the world is starved for positive entertainment that produces happy, hopeful feelings, so I try to be the author who makes people smile."Įvanovich's own family plays an integral role in her publishing empire (more than 45 books in print and more than 75 million books sold worldwide). Mostly, I think her appeal is that she's not perfect, but she's a good person who rallies to the cause, gets through the day, pays her own way, and tries to do the right thing. What is it about her that resonates with people? Evanovich considers Plum an average person "with an odd job and relationship issues. Stephanie Plum is a bounty hunter with two hot guys and a crazy family. But a giraffe named Kevin? How does she come up with such wacky ways to keep her 20-book series fresh? Evanovich said she has no idea where it comes from: "Sometimes it's downright scary to think what must be rattling around in my head."
We recently chatted with Janet Evanovich, whose latest Stephanie Plum caper, Takedown Twenty (Bantam, $28), has all her the familiar elements: Morelli and Ranger, family entanglements needing a Venn diagram to describe, and bingo.
