WELCOME TO
Jane M. Billows Books
Aloha, and welcome to my world of cozy mysteries!
I grew up in a small town in the Alaskan bush with my nose constantly buried in a book. I now live on Hawaiʻi Island with my ʻohana, our adorable one-eyed cat, and a couple of free-range chickens.
My favorite thing to do is spend time with my family. Life is super busy, but I love when I get a moment to read a good book under a shady palm on a breezy beach overlooking a cobalt blue ocean.
I also love crafting my own mysteries, incorporating my love of food, intelligent pets, travel, quirky characters, and unexpected twists and turns. : ) I hope you enjoy my books!

a Murder & muffin cozy mystery
Teaching baking workshops on a Mediterranean cruise was a dream come true but I never imagined I would be accused of murder!
I thought my biggest problem would be managing my hypoglycemia so I brought my sweet Chocolate Lab service dog, Muffin.
Everything spiraled when celebrity food critic Evelyn Kline turned up dead. We found her with my signature red velvet cupcake clutched in her hand.
And now, butter my biscuit, I’m the prime suspect.
The ship’s doctor and the handsome captain think my cupcake poisoned her!
But as Muffin and I sniff around for clues to clear my name, we discovered that many people hated her.
Dotty, head Housekeeper, is happy to spill the tea on the ships’ juicy gossip over breakfast.
She told me that Evelyn had made some enemies, like Kevin, an obsessed fan.
There was also Emma, her envious cousin.
Muffin is on high alert for danger as we search for clues.
If I can’t uncover the real culprit soon, I could end up in seriously hot ganache…or worse, dead!
