This temporary installation is a combination of a tree house and a library

and was set up in Londons Regents Park. It was created by an art collabo-

rative as a catalyst to ignite the collective imagination, encouraging adults

and children alike to explore a variety of creative responses to nature.

A list of Janet Evanovich books held by the library can be found on ourcatalogue.

Janet Evanovich is the author of the best selling Stephanie Plum novels. She

started writing romance novels under the pen name Steffie Hall. After writing12 romances she moved into the mystery/comedy genre with One for the

Moneyfeaturing bounty hunter Stephanie Plum. The latest in the series, Top

Secret Twenty-Oneis due to be released in June. The Between the Numbers

novels are a spin-off featuring Diesel from the Plum series. Janet has been

quoted saying I wouldnt go so far to say Stephanie is an autobiographic

character but I will admit to knowing where she lives.

Spotlight on Janet Evanovich

Cons and a novel The Heistwhich are the begin-

ning of a new series written in collaboration with

Lee Goldberg. Her other series are the Fullse-

ries written with Charlotte Hughes, along with

the Wickedseries which started in 2010 with

the release of Wicked Appetite.
