At Home

Auto portrait by Tamara de Lempicka

Eventeur J.S. Devivre spends her days working to support the 'genteel arts' through the grass roots nonprofit, Whimsicalidocious. Her opus project, The Academy of Omniosophical Arts & Sciences, launches February 2020 under the family name J.S.D. Johnston. 2020 will also see her return to immersive theater with the production of Oracles.

She recently published No Scone Left Unturned—the final installment in the five-part 1920s Tea Cozy Mysteries series—and in January 2020 will lead a walk-in-the-footsteps-of-the-characters train trip up the California coast. For  the Tea Travellers Societea, Miss Devivre has compiled five regional tearoom guidebooks covering the Pacific Northwest. To support her love of afternoon tea, she also creates Cup of Mystery whodunnit games and interactive mystery events for tea parlours.  

Afternoon tea, Cirque du Soleil, and travel are her confessed vices. Her assistant is an English bulldog named Molly.
