Biography

Jodi is the author of historical romance and young adult, a black belt, and registered nurse. She lives with her husband, three sons and an evolving herd of undisciplined animals in Colorado. She has a well-earned fear of bears, but tolerates the Teddy and Gummy variety. She has been obsessed with books, both reading and writing them, for most of her life and prefers the written word to having actual conversations. The most current projected completion date of her To Be Read book collection is May 17, 2176.

Do You Listen to Music While Writing? What Kind?

Yes, I set inspirational soundtracks for each novel. I have a classical (for the High Crown Chronicles), a jazz & zydeco mix (A Shine That Defies the Dark), a folk & bluegrass mix (Finnigan's End), and a harsh, head banging angry mix (for a YA martial arts fantasy).
