ⓘ About Janie Bolitho

Janie Bolitho was an English author made famous for her detective crime mystery series. She also wrote under the alias Jodie Sinclair for a variety of freestanding novels. Just like many other authors, Bolitho fits the cliché of following the working life before her career took off. Just like many fellow published writers, earning a living was never a separate pursuit from her writing, as she drew a lot of her stories from her previous working experiences. Before becoming a professional novelist, Janie worked as a bookmaker’s clerk, tour guide, debt collector, and psychiatric nurse. Her big break came with the publishing of the detective Chief Inspector Roper series, which attained much commercial success, allowing her to become a full time writer.
