Maryjane Elizabeth Jones loves to cook and share her recipes almost as much as she loves to write. She got the idea for the Phantom Cooks mysteries from a friend who actually started a catering business called Phantom Cooks, home-cooked meals delivered directly to your doorstep. After reading a Janet Evanovich mystery, Maryjane decided to try her hand at the craft. You’ll be glad she did. Maryjane has two cats, a parakeet named Tweets, and protects her grandmother’s recipe for bread pudding as if it were the Crown Jewels. These days she divides her time between New England and the sandy beaches of Southern Florida.
