J.S. Borthwick (pseudonym for Jean Scott Wood Creighton) was born in Buffalo, NY, and was studying at the State University of New York in Buffalo when WWII broke out; she left school to work as a nurse. After marriage and three children, she went back to college, and ultimately taught English in the Maine high-school system and at Indiana University. Along the way—and over twenty-five years—she wrote thirteen books in the much-loved Sarah Deane series, all of them literate, witty, and rich in twisty plotting. She died in Maine, in 2018.
“Perfect fireside reading.” —New York Times Book Review “Borthwick has the right stuff.” —Washington Post Book World “Readers will not only be entertained, but will also learn quite a bit about sailboats, rare books and the annual Christmas bird count.” —Orlando Sentinel “Splendidly satirical” —Dayton Daily News “A fun and surprising novel, with a spicy undercurrent that creeps up on you, delighting the palate like a fine curry” —Portland Press Herald “Saved from the saccharine by Borthwick's satirical eye...Borthwick is out to entertain, and Sarah and Aunt Julia do just that.” —El Paso Times
