During her quarter-century-long literary career, author Faye Kellerman has penned more than 30 books — 26 of which are part of her hugely popular “Peter Decker/Rina Lazarus” series of mystery novels. An Orthodox Jew, Kellerman infuses her novels with a Jewish component. She and husband Jonathan Kellerman, a highly successful author in his own right, are the only married couple ever to appear on the New York Times bestseller list at the same time (for two separate books). Jonathan Kellerman will be featured in the next edition of AmazingJews.com.
Quote: “I write well-fleshed out characters, and inevitably, more ideas spring from my subconscious. They all have a little bit of me in them. It’s very hard to figure out in advance how a story will unfold, but after having written so many novels, I feel more comfortable letting the ideas come up from somewhere in my own subconscious.”
