edit data

Reverend Jane Willan is the author of the Sister Agatha and Father Selwyn Mystery series. She is also the pastor of the First Congregational Church in Paxton, Massachusetts, where she preaches from a 300 year-old pulpit once occupied by Puritans, teaches bible study, attends lots of meetings, and never misses a potluck dinner. When not working at the church or creating new adventures for Sister Agatha, Jane relaxes at her favorite local bookstore enjoying coffee and a variety of carbohydrates with frosting. Otherwise, you might catch her binge-watching Netflix or hiking through the New England woods with her husband and two rescue dogs, Magi and Moses.

Sister Agatha is Back!

I am so excited about my newest Sister Agatha and Father Selwyn Mystery! It releases on November 17. I have titled the book Abide With Me, an old hymn (and a favorite of mine) from the Anglican hymnbook.
I especially enjoyed writing this third book because it is centered around the season of Epiphany. Being a pastor myself, I mark time by the liturgical calendar—Advent to Christmastide to Epiphan Read more of this blog post »
