Orania Papazoglou (July 13, 1951 - July 17, 2019[3]), better known by her pen name Jane Haddam, was an American mystery writer.

Biography

Haddam was born in Bethel, Connecticut and lived in Watertown.[4][5][6] She was married to mystery writer William L. DeAndrea until his death in 1996.[4] One of their two sons, Matt DeAndrea, is also a writer; the second is named Gregory DeAndrea.

Writing

Papazoglou worked as a teacher at the college level and as a magazine editor.[7] She began her fiction writing career after attending the 1981 Romantic Times Booklovers' Convention, which she was covering as a journalist. After her article about the conference was rejected, Papazoglou sat down and began to write the first Patience McKenna novel, Sweet, Savage Death.[8] She would eventually write five McKenna novels, under her real name, between 1984 and 1990.

Between 1983 and 1988, Papazoglou wrote six romance novels. Four were published under the name Nicola Andrews for Jove's Second Chance at Love line, and two were published by Pocket Books under the name Ann Paris.[8]

She was best known for her series of mysteries written as Jane Haddam featuring Gregor Demarkian, a former FBI agent.
