Jean
Sheldon
Born
and raised in Chicago, Jean Sheldon spent the first half of
her life as a fine and graphic artist. In 2004
she began another creative endeavor, writing
mysteries. Her historical mystery The Woman
in the Wing features women pilots (WASP) and
factory workers (Rosie the Riveter) during WWII.
Seven Cities of Greed involves a group of
women of a 'certain age' on a quest for
adventure and the mythical Seven Cities of Gold
in New Mexico, Jean's home for over twenty
years. Mrs. Quigley's Kidnapping
introduces Mattie Draper, a female detective in
Chicago circa 1968, and Flowers for Her Grave
is an old-fashioned whodunit in which two
amateur sleuths in their early sixties, a gossip
columnist and a gardener, solve a 20-year-old
crime. The mystery An Uncluttered Palette
is filled with art history, oil painting,
forgery, and fun! She Overheard Murder
introduced the characters of the Nic & Nora
Mystery series—mysteries solved by lesbian
amateur detectives in post-World War II Chicago.
The second book of the Nic & Nora series,
Puzzled by the Clues follows both the
blossoming relationship of Nic and Nora and that
of Anna and Allen. Characters at the heart of
the Owen gang and those on the perimeter, offer
humor, wisdom, and the belief that there is
always hope. In 2015 Jean returned to her first
love, poetry, releasing Persistent, a
collection of poems.
