Iris Joansen is an American writer of detective and love novels. She was born on April 7, 1938 in the United States. All her life she worked in the largest airlines and traveled a lot. It was trips to different countries that awakened her writing talent.
Iris began writing only after retirement, when her children grew up, graduated from college and began to lead independent lives.
The first writing success came to Joansen in the early 80s. It was during this period that she proved herself as a talented author of love novels.
In 1991, Iris slightly changed the genre of writing and began writing historical novels with thriller elements. The first success in this genre came to the writer after writing a series of books “Dancing the Wind”. However, work in this genre did not last long, and in 1996 she again radically changed the genre and began to write detective stories with elements of the novel.
At the end of 2006, 17 books of the successful writer were included in the list of the best literary works of the New York Times.
A feature of Joansen's books was that she led characters from book to book, sometimes introducing minor characters. Thus, the secondary characters of one book became the main characters in another.
For several years, the writer has released ten series of books: “Donovan”, “Duet 1”, “Duet 2”, “Duet 3”, “Hotel Santa Flores”, “Clanad”, “Sedihan and Tamrovia”, “Eva Duncan”, “Dancing Wind” and “White Silk”. The most popular of her works was a series called Eva Duncan. The first book in the series, The Face of Dishonor, was published in 1998. More than ten non-serial books have also been published.
