Jianna Higgins

Jianna was born in Auckland, New Zealand. She also has an American birth certificate! She loves taking her dogs to the beach and sliding on snow with chocolate breaks. Jianna is the author of the multi-award-winning SORRENTO SERIES about people who work or live in a nursing home. She believes in happy endings! The idea for the first book germinated when she started contemplating her future demise, and she wondered what it would be like to have to move into a nursing home against her will like her own Kiwi and American grandmothers. They didn’t go quietly. The characters are combinations of people she has encountered in her life, from kind to cranky, and ill-tempered to feisty. They all had their own unique story. Jianna has completed book one in the SILVER SLEUTH SERIES called Atlantic City Attitude and is writing book two called Boston Betrayal. In this series, Alice from Sorrento hires herself out as a private instigator. Yes, you read that right. She instigates finding the truth. She is also working on a fifth novel in the SORRENTO SERIES called Just Christmas: Charlotte’s story of finding peace. *AWARDS* - First Place winner Book Excellence Awards in Friendship for Just Going - First Place winner Maincrest Media Awards in Women's Fiction for Atlantic City Attitude - First Place winner Book Excellence Awards in Friendship for Just Saying - First Place winner in LYRA Book Awards in Women's Fiction for Just Saying - Silver Medal winner Global Ebook Awards in Inspirational Fiction for Just Saying - Finalist Medal winner Readers' Favorite International Book Awards in Realistic Fiction for Just Saying - First Place Medal winner Book Excellence Awards for Just Kidding - Silver Medal winner in Global Ebook Awards in Humor for Just Kidding - Honorable Mention medal in Readers' Favorite Book Awards in Humor category for Just Wondering - Gold Medal winner in Global Ebook Awards in Popular Literature Fiction for Just Wondering - Gold Medal winner in Global Ebook Awards in Humor category for Just Wondering - Top 5 finalist in Readers' Favorite International Book Awards in Women's Fiction for Just Wondering - Honorable Mention medal in Global Ebook Awards in Popular Literature Fiction for Just Going - Shortlisted finalist in Writers' Village International Novel Award for Just Going - Semi-finalist in Kindle Best Indie Book Awards in Young Adult for Just Going - Top 5 finalist in Kindle Best Indie Book Awards in Short Fiction for Just Looking Favorite TV series - The Mandelorian, The Witcher, The Rings of Power, House of Dragon, Big Bang Theory, Friends Favorite movies - Lord of the Rings, The Hunger Games, Star Wars, Star Trek, The Lake House, The Shawshank Redemption Favorite genres - Women's Fiction, YA, fantasy, contemporary Visit Jianna's website at http://jiannahiggins.com/.
