Jada Ryker

KINDLE SCOUT WINNER AND SOUTHERN STORYTELLER

Jada Ryker is the author of Take the Body and Run, a Kindle Scout winner published through Amazon’s Kindle Press. This fast-paced contemporary mystery/romance follows a hunted woman hiding under a dead friend’s identity, a dangerously charming lawman, a death doctor armed with a fart machine, and a cranky cat with a nose for crime. The “goofy thriller” is as fun and unpredictable as it sounds.

Born and raised in rural Kentucky, Jada spent the first two decades of her life in absolute poverty. Those early years of deprivation shaped her steely resilience. Today, she spins tales featuring strong, feisty women who solve murder—and romantic—mysteries with help from their quirky human and animal allies.

After more than three decades as a human resources director, Jada draws on her real-life experiences to craft stories that blend suspense, romance, humor, and a healthy dose of Southern sass. Now happily retired from healthcare and higher education HR, she lives in central Kentucky with her wonderful husband and their three cats. The kitties are either plotting world domination or just waiting for dinner—it all depends on whether they get those opposable thumbs they ordered from Amazon.

Jada’s books are known for quirky characters, laugh-out-loud moments, and thrilling twists. Explore her full catalog on Amazon—available in ebook and paperback.
