A month-long trip to England during her college years introduced Jo to the joys of Things British. Since then, she has been lured back nearly a dozen times, and lived there during her professional folk singing stint. This intimate knowledge of Britain forms the backbone of both the Peak District mysteries and the McLaren cold case mystery series.
Jo’s insistence for accuracy, from police methods and location layout to the general feel of the area, has driven her innumerable times to Derbyshire for research. These explorations and conferences with police friends provide the detail filling the books.
In 1999 Jo returned to Webster University to major in English. She graduated in 2001 with a BA degree and departmental honors.
Her cat Tennyson shares her St. Louis home.
A Broderick Crawford Day cake, goulash from a silent German inn, dark and white chocolate lemon scones reminiscent of a Christmas-in-June party, a noodle-ground beef-cheese casserole named after a skunk, cider-baked potatoes in an English home, Bubble and Squeak, Singing Hinnies, Afghans, roast leg of lamb… Tea in a Tin Cup relates mystery author Jo A. Hiestand's life-long journey of adventures and the food associated with them—events such as meeting the future members of her folk singing group via a spaghetti fight, tasting reindeer meat in a gold rush-era New Zealand town, and her childhood venture into baking. This collection of impressions, memories and recipes blend to remind us that life, humor and good food are not only entwined but also are the essence of life.
