J.A. Jance es el seudónimo de la novelista estadounidense Judith Ann Jance, reconocida por su aporte a los géneros de misterio y terror. Sus editores le sugirieron usar el seudónimo gender-neutral "J.A. Jance" para escribir novelas de misterio con un detective masculino. Jance se ha establecido como una figura destacada en el género, con una carrera que abarca varias obras notables.
Judith Ann Jance, que escribe bajo el seudónimo J.A. Jance, es una autora bestseller del New York Times entre los 10 primeros. Ha escrito 46 misterios contemporáneos en cuatro series diferentes, incluyendo la serie J.P. Beaumont, la serie Joanna Brady, tres thrillers interrelacionados con la familia Walker y la serie Ali Reynolds. Nacida en Dakota del Sur y criada en Bisbee, Arizona, Jance actualmente reside en Seattle, Washington, y Tucson, Arizona, con su esposo.
El amor de Jance por los misterios comenzó a una edad temprana, habiendo sido una lectora ávida de Nancy Drew y la serie Travis Magee de John D. McDonald. Era natural que cuando escribió su primer libro, fuera un misterio. Jance es una escritora dedicada y defensora de varias causas, incluyendo la Sociedad Americana del Cáncer, Gilda's Club, la Sociedad Humana, el YMCA y las Girl Scouts. También es amante de los animales y tiene un Dachshund rescatado llamado Bella.
