 '''Jennifer Crusie''' was born Jennifer Smith in Wapakoneta, Ohio. "Jenny," as she is called, chose the Crusie surname for her writing to honor her maternal grandmother (who was born a Crusie). Crusie has spent much of her life in and currently resides in Ohio.
 Crusie was graduated from Wapakoneta High School, and then earned a bachelor's degree in Art Education from Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio.  She has a Master's degree in Professional Writing and Women's Literature from Wright State University, and an MFA in Fiction from Ohio State University.  She has also completed work towards a Ph.D. in feminist criticism and nineteenth century British and American literature at Ohio State University.
 Crusie has taught all age levels, from pre-school through college, including 15 years in the Beavercreek (Ohio) public school system.  Her junior and senior high school courses included art, Literature (touching on mythology, the Bible in literature, college composition, and British and American literature), as well as time spent directing the sets and costumes crews for the high school's drama department.  She has also taught courses at Antioch University, Wright State University, and Ohio State.
 Writing was an accidental career.  Jennifer Crusie's career as a romance author began when she read over 100 romance novels as part of her research for her Ph.D. dissertation on the impact of gender on narrative strategies. This encouraged her to write romance herself, and eventually she put the Ph.D. on hold in order to earn an MFA in fiction from Ohio State University.
 Crusie sold her first novella, ''Sizzle,'' in August 1992.  For the first three years of her career, her books were presented as category romances under the Silhouette, [[Harlequin|Harlequin]], and Bantam Books [[Loveswept]] lines.  As an author for Bantam's [[Loveswept]] line, Jennifer Crusie wrote two romances. She wrote five novels for the [[Harlequin Temptation]] line. In 1995, Crusie developed a partnership with St. Martin's Press, and began writing single title novels.  Her books are known for their humor, and for the interesting scenarios her heroines are placed in.
-Jennifer Crusie won the [[1995 RITA&reg; Winners|1995 RITA&reg;]] in the [[RITA&reg;: Best Short Contemporary Series|Short Contemporary]] category for her novel ''[[Getting Rid Of Bradley]]''. She also won the [[2005 RITA&reg; Winners|2005 RITA&reg;]] in the [[RITA&reg;: Best Contemporary Single Title|Best Contemporary Single Title]] category with ''[[Bet Me]]''.
+Although she remains ABD on her Ph.D. in Feminist Criticism from Ohio State University, she has written a a book of literary criticism on Anne Rice and contributed to the growing body of [[Romance Scholarship|academic work]] studying romance fiction. She is known throughout the industry as a generous mentor, while her readers are attracted to her smart, funny style.
