Jeanne M. Dams has been writing cozy mysteries since 1995, producing over forty books across several series.

The Hilda Johansson series offered a historical counterpart, setting mysteries in early 1900s South Bend, Indiana. The Oak Park Village Mystery series, beginning in 2022, gave Dams a new contemporary setting. She has also contributed to mystery anthologies and written a guide to mystery writing.
