Jance's virtual visit follows the serendipitous arrival of a copy of her book, "Paradise Lost," which arrived in Fond du Lac from Casino, New South Wales, Australia.
About the Author: J.A. Jance is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of more than 60 works of contemporary mystery across the J. P. Beaumont series, the Joanna Brady series, and the Ali Reynolds series, as well as six interrelated thrillers about the Walker Family and one volume of poetry.

About Jance's newest book, released September 2023: In "Blessing of the Lost Girls: A Brady and Walker Novel," (William Morrow: On sale: September 19, 2023), J. A. Jance combines characters from two of her bestselling series to track down a killer who preys on victims that are often neglected by local police—young Indigenous women. For Dan Pardee, a former Border Patrol Shadow Wolf, these cases are personal. His wife, Lani, the adopted daughter of Brandon and Diana Walker, is Native American. Half Anglo, he’s the son a murdered Apache woman. Since Rosa’s remains were found in Cochise County, Dan’s investigation brings him into Sheriff Joanna Brady’s territory and introduces him to an unexpected ally: her daughter. Jennifer Brady is a college senior majoring in criminal justice. Together Dan and Jenny uncover other possible victims—as well as one young woman who survived a brutal attack. Dan and Jenny soon realize that they’re dealing with a serial killer who follows the rodeo circuit in search of potential victims.
