Jan Dunlap is the author of the edge-of-your-seat Archangels suspense series (blending cutting-edge science with spiritual revelation), the best-selling memoir "Saved by Gracie: How a rough-and-tumble rescue dog dragged me back to health, happiness, and God," and the Bob White Birder Murder Mystery series.
A resident of the Texas Hill Country, Jan holds two master's degrees: one in English Studies and one in Theology.

Jan welcomes visitors to her website at jandunlap.com, tweets @BirderMurder, and has two Facebook author pages: Birder Murder Mama and Archangels

To-do lists. Emails. I get my brain cells so fired up, they can't stop and then I find myself working on a manuscript or guest blog post I promised to someone.

With my speaking engagements for my Saved by Gracie book, I've been honored to touch so many hearts with inspiration and laughter. I like writing, too, but the people I connect with enrich my life immeasurably. (less)

Hey, bartender!

Do you have a bucket list?


After 2018, mine is more like a shot glass.


Last year, I crossed off two big items on my personal bucket list: vacationing in Hawaii and becoming a grandmother.

Carol Jan,
Thank you for offering your friendship.


message 2: by Jan

Jan Dunlap My pleasure! I like to connect with other readers who read a wide spectrum of books. I'm a big mystery and biography fan myself, along with all types of drama and nonfiction. When I write a book, it seems like everything I've read comes into play and is useful. Happy reading!


Christine Hatfield Thanks for being my friend
