    SAMPLE EXCERPT:

    “What was the inspiration behind the creation of this book?”
    What made the series different from other masters of the mystery genre is that Janet Evanovich incorporates the sense of family and community within the Plum world. The craziness of the world, according to her, is too much for her not to make stories out of it. One of Stephanie Plum’s family members, Grandma Mazur was inspired by Janet’s Aunt Lena. She is one of the unforgettable characters of the series where it is known for.
    The series revolves around Stephanie Plum and her job which has a linear structure applying what Janet Evanovich learned from Robert Parker which makes reading easy. She decided to adapt the easy structure for she writes to entertain, make people feel good about them and be a fine break from a typical busy day.
    Smokin’ Seventeen is the decision book in all the Stephanie Plum series since it is time to decide whether Stephanie choose from the two hot men of the series. Despite the series’ length of 18 books, Janet Evanovich is still deeply immersed with the Plum world all these years of time invested, for it is her motivation to continue sharing her stories to the world.

      Story

      Foreword

      A personal note from the editor…

      What if…? was the question that gave birth to Behind the Story Books.

      When I pick up a book, from the first letter to the last, I am often completely enveloped in the novel - I'm laughing, rejoicing, fighting, and crying, side by side next to the characters. Even long after the book is finished, I found myself reminiscing about the scenes and characters over and over again in my head like a broken tape recorder – I was left high and very dry.

      One particularly pleasant evening, after closing the last page to a wonderful story, I just HAD to find out everything about the book - how it was created, how it was developed, who the author was, - everything.

      This sudden spurt of passion has led me to create and develop Behind the Story Books, to share with you - my fellow book lovers – a fan’s love for books. I hope you can see the love that went into the creation this book. Please enjoy this book and support Behind the Story Books. It is created for a fan, by a fan.

      So without further ado, I present to you…
