Here and Now: Novelist J.A. Jance
Judith Jance is an Arizona success story. She was told that writing was for men when she was denied entry into the University of Arizona's creating writing program in the mid 1960's. But that didn't deter her from writing more than two dozen novels with her latest, Fire and Ice, among the top ten books listed on the New York Times best seller list.
Jance's characters are based in areas she knows well, Arizona and Seattle, where she lives most of the year.
Have a question about how she comes up with plots for the likes of Sheriff Joanna Brady or retired cop J.P. Beaumont? We'll ask as many listener questions as we can get in.

Water Issues on Here and Now
Listen to Here and Now Wednesday, January 17th from 11 until noon when host Steve Goldstein and guests discuss Arizona's dwindling water supply in rural Arizona.
Some areas such as Payson and Williams continue to grow while the amount of water available stays the same or declines. Several urban counties require developers to prove they have a 100-year supply of water for any new homes built -- but that's not the case in rural Arizona. Next Wednesday on here and now, we'll look at proposals to ensure an adequate water supply from the statewide water advisory group.
