Order of Irene Hannon Books
Some authors write to entertain. Irene Hannon writes to transform. With pen in hand and faith in heart, she crafts stories that are not only emotionally resonant but spiritually anchoring—often threading suspense, romance, and redemption into seamless harmony. She isn’t just a name on the Christian fiction shelf. She’s a phenomenon.
Born on June 11, 1953, in the United States, Irene Hannon grew up in a home steeped in storytelling and imagination. There are no dramatic deaths to report—thankfully, Hannon is very much alive and thriving—but her characters have braved countless dangers, dilemmas, and dark nights of the soul. And through them, her readers have too.
Armed with degrees in psychology and journalism from respected institutions (she holds a B.A. in psychology and an M.A. in journalism), Hannon carved out a fascinating double life. By day, she worked in corporate communications at a Fortune 500 company, where she polished her skills in precision, clarity, and persuasion. By night, she retreated to fictional worlds where FBI agents, small-town healers, and quietly heroic women battled trauma and found love. That duality of order and imagination is stamped all over her books.
Her career began modestly in the world of category romance, writing for Harlequin. But it wasn’t long before she pivoted into inspirational romantic suspense—and that’s where her star exploded. Think Hallmark meets Criminal Minds but with prayer, purpose, and plot twists that will make your heart skip beats.
Hannon is a three-time winner of the prestigious RITA Award (now called the Vivian), has claimed top spots on both the USA Today and Publishers Weekly bestseller lists, and boasts dozens of books that span genres and series. Whether it’s her Heroes of Quantico, Private Justice, or Hope Harbor series, she consistently delivers characters you want to root for and villains who are far too real for comfort.
What makes her bio ironic? For someone who writes with such pulse-pounding intensity and heart-tugging sincerity, Irene Hannon is described by colleagues and fans as refreshingly low-key. No social media drama, no literary pretensions. Just consistent brilliance from a woman whose faith deeply anchors her fiction. Her books don’t preach—they resonate. They don’t scream—they whisper truth in ways that echo long after the last page.
So, if you’re new to Irene Hannon, prepare yourself. You’ll think you're settling into a gentle romance... and then find yourself clutching the pages at 2 a.m., praying the hero defuses the bomb or uncovers the truth before the final twist. And when it's all over? You’ll be reaching for her next book faster than you can say “just one more chapter.”
In the world of Christian fiction, Irene Hannon isn’t just an author—she’s a trusted voice. A guiding light. A literary lighthouse for readers who crave hope with their heartbreak and purpose in their plots.
