I have two book signing events on July. Ill be at the historic Moravian Book Shop in Bethlehem, PA, on Saturday, July 18, followed by Barnes & Nobles in Gainesville, VA, on Sunday, July 26. If you're in the area, please stop by.

Talk to me people. Why did you choose the path you’re on? I’d love to hear your answers.

Hey! I'm working on my first novel -- a fantasy where emotions have powers. It's been interesting finding out that I'm a discovery writer, and I'm planning on making plenty more discoveries. I'm excited to take this journey with you all!

Hi friends! I'm JoAnne. I've been writing stories since I was six, I love ridiculously long walks, and home is wherever I happen to be at the moment. I've done a fair bit of travel and have experienced a lot of things, but I'll never live long enough to see all the places I want to see, meet all the people I want to meet, and learn all the things I want to learn. My current WIP is a teen-superhero-origin-story-meets-psychological-thriller (how's that for dashes?) and I'm feeling utterly overwhelmed by the revision process. First drafts are a piece of cake for me, but drafts two through a million make up a vast expanse of uncharted territory that's frankly terrifying. Excited to connect with and get inspiration from y'all!

I attended StoryCon for the first time this year and really enjoyed it! I saw quite a few people I already knew, but met a lot more. I even got to meet in person the first editor I hired to help me with one of my books. Robin Patchen presented at the conference - she edited "I Was Called Barabbas." Glad I went!
