Book
signing, discussion and reception with author, Jan Dunlap
Illegal immigration,
drug smuggling, and the advent of space tourism creates a deadly backdrop for a
murder investigation when birder Bob White finds a famous Winter Texan dead in
one of the Rio Grande Valley's World Birding Centers during his January escape
from Minnesota's deep-freeze.
Jan Dunlap is the author of the
humorous Bob White Birder Murder Mysteries (all six of which have been
nominated for the annual Minnesota Book Awards) that follow the adventures of a
really nice guy who finds dead bodies when he’s out birding. With readers
across America and Europe, Jan’s brand of humorous storytelling has earned her
accolades from critics and readers alike of all ages. Her characters are
sketched from real life and real people; as a weekly humor columnist for her
local newspapers for five years, Jan polished her skills of observation and
human insight that continue to win her new fans of her mystery series.
There But for the
Grace of Dog Go I . . . Author Jan Dunlap was suffering increasingly severe
bouts of anxiety after a medical misdiagnosis slapped her in the face with an
acute realization of the tenuous nature of human life. A degreed theologian,
Jan found her personal faith in God and His promises severely shaken and her
enthusiasm for life being replaced by growing fear and debilitating insecurity.
Then a rescue-shelter black lab-mix by the name of Gracie came into her life as
her daughter's new pet, and Jan determined to do whatever it took to provide
both her daughter and the dog with the sense of security she herself no longer
felt. She quickly discovered, however, that Gracie was helping her manage her
anxiety. Jan also came to a new awareness of how a loving God provides healing
through His own works of creation. Part memoir and part medical exploration of
the truly healing gifts that God freely offers us through our interaction with
animals and nature, Saved by Gracie is a story of God's redeeming love revealed
at the paws of a dog.
A former adjunct instructor for
both New Mexico State University and New Mexico Junior College (thanks to her
master’s degree in English Studies from Minnesota State University-Mankato),
Jan frequently speaks to book clubs, community service organizations, writers’
groups, birders, and senior living communities about birds, writing, and the
importance of humor. Jan is the mother of five children and lives in Chaska,
Minnesota, with her husband Tom and their dog Gracie. www.jandunlap.com
