National bestselling and award-winning author Joanna Campbell Slan has written 30 books, including both fiction and non-fiction works. She was one of the first Chicken Soup for the Soul authors, and her stories appear in five of those books. Her first non-fiction book, Using Stories and Humor: Grab Your Audience, was endorsed by Toastmasters International, and lauded by Benjamin Netanyahu's speechwriter. She's the author of three mystery series. Her first novel-Paper, Scissors, Death (Kiki Lowenstein Mystery #1) --was shortlisted for the Agatha Award. Recently she released Glue, Baby, Gone (Kiki Lowenstein Mystery #12). Her first historical mystery-Death of a Schoolgirl: The Jane Eyre Chronicles-won the Daphne du Maurier Award of Excellence. Her contemporary series set in Florida continues this year with All Washed Up (Cara Mia Delgatto Mystery #3). In addition to writing fiction, she edits the Happy Homicides Anthologies and has begun the Dollhouse Décor & More series of "how to" books for dollhouse miniaturists. Recently, one of her short stories was accepted for inclusion in the prestigious Chesapeake Crimes: Fur, Feathers, and Felonies anthology. When she isn't banging away at the keyboard, Joanna keeps busy walking her Havanese puppy Jax and watching her family's League of Legends Team Dignitas on Twitch. Her husband, David, owns Steinway Piano Gallery-DC, so he provides the class in the family while she figures out how to turn trash into treasure. The Slans make their home in Jupiter Island, Florida.
