Books

Jo is the author of a bunch of books, fiction, memoir and nonfiction/teaching. Each reflects her love for a good story and what she hopes readers might also love in a good book. Most are available via your local independent book shop or favorite online book seller; sadly, some have become, ahem, ‘rare books,’ meaning they are no longer in print. But don’t let that keep you from tracking them down and enjoying the journey!
