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. Given that Busby and Allison published most of her work, the majority of fans tend to be library borrowers. Readers can obtain most of her Isis published works by Isis in CD and tape format.
