Based on the book series by Suzi Weinhart
About Suzi Weinhart
“You might say it’s the U.S. Army’s fault,” chuckles Suzi Weinert, remembering the first military thrift shop she ever attended. “It was a treasure trove of unusual artifacts laced with practical items.” An Air Force brat turned military wife, this attraction to thrift shops led her to swap meets and bazaars before she concentrated on garage and estate sales.
Moving 11 times across the United States and overseas with her husband – while raising their five children and trying to make every new house a home – she quickly learned whatever couldn’t be taken on a move could later be supplemented with judicious second-hand buys.
But what began as a need turned into a 25-year bona fide weekend garage sale passion. Then, following a spine-chilling experience at a sale in Virginia, she found herself writing a short story that would eventually become a book: her debut novel, Garage Sale Stalker, and first in her series of Garage Sale mystery-thrillers.
Soon Suzi found herself in a position most authors fantasize about. A Hollywood producer chose her book as the basis for a 2-hour TV movie on Hallmarks Movie & Mystery Channel, so successful they developed it into several movie episodes in Hallmark’s Garage Sale Mystery Series. Talented film star Lori Loughlin brought the novel’s protagonist, Jennifer Shannon, to life.
Setting: The book series is set in the suburbs of Washington, DC, with a big emphasis on the wealthier areas of Virginia.
