C. Jean Downer (she/her) is a 2024 Golden Literary Award double finalist and 2023 and 2024 Touchstone nominated poet living near the Canadian northwest’s eternal Pacific Ocean with her wife, their two fabulous daughters, two lazy dogs, and three chill cats.

Jean has loved reading and watching the mystery genre since she was a kid and is thrilled to be able to write genre-bending stories of mystery, paranormal, and romantic suspense for a second act.

When she is not writing, she and the love of her life will be traveling to new destinations and checking them off their bucket list (okay, even when traveling she’ll be writing but mostly in her head).

Nothing. Just one key. I Google Earth-ed the return address and found it belonged to a small white house. Who sent the key and why they sent it plagued me for weeks. I thought of everything from reasonable explanations to truly tortured scenarios. Definitely fodder for a book!(less)

I'm finishing pre-editor revisions on Book #2 of The Sloane West Mystery series (out next year!). Act One of my dark comedy is complete, and I've put it away for a few months. I've started an age-gap romance and am almost finished with Act One, and then I will shelve it. Most of my focus is teasing out the twists and surprises for Book #3 of The Sloane West Mystery series. Sloane will solve a murder in Italy, and so will I (well, not the murder part, only the be in Italy part!). (less)
