PRESS RELEASEFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
London, 29 October 2025 – Acclaimed author Jeanne Burrows-Johnson is featured in the latest issue of Reader’s House Magazine, London’s distinguished gateway to global literature. The magazine, celebrated for showcasing bestselling, award-winning, and exceptional authors from around the world, praised both Burrows-Johnson and her Hawaiian mystery series for their cultural richness, historical precision, and evocative storytelling.
A multi-talented creative with a background spanning theatre, dance, academia, and journalism, Jeanne Burrows-Johnson crafts stories that immerse readers in the vibrant landscapes of Hawaiʻi and beyond. Her acclaimed Natalie Seachrist Hawaiian Mysteries—including Murders of Conveyance and Yen for Murder—blend elements of suspense, history, and the paranormal with meticulous research and cultural sensitivity. Reader’s House commended her for “bringing cultural and historical awareness to mystery writing with elegance and depth, crafting narratives that resonate across genres and generations.”
In her Reader’s House interview, Burrows-Johnson shared valuable insights into her creative process and research methods, offering advice to aspiring writers on balancing authenticity and imagination:
- “Classic tragedy and comedy spurred me into performance… creative and historical writing yielded to today’s mysteries sprinkled with history and the paranormal.”
- “The secret to restraining a desire to include historical data without restraint became routine… editing, repeatedly!”
- “Perform due diligence in research and editing but always remain true to your inner direction.”
The author also spoke about her unique approach to setting and characterisation, shaped by her life in both Oregon and Hawaiʻi. “There are many similarities between Portland and Honolulu—abundant natural beauty, cultural diversity, and a mixture of beliefs and ages. My mysteries reflect the same mixtures,” she noted.
Reader’s House highlighted her distinctive voice, describing her work as “a masterclass in blending meticulous historical detail with page-turning suspense, where intuition, intellect, and imagination converge.”
Praise from Reader’s House:
“Jeanne Burrows-Johnson captivates readers with her seamless fusion of culture, mystery, and imagination—her stories are as educational as they are enthralling.”
