A child of the King, by virtue of the blood of His Son Jesus, Joanne is also a wife and mother of three grown children. She and her husband, John, and daughter share their home and love of animals with two dogs and several cats. Her favorite place is in her garden where she has received much inspiration for her writing. aWith the sun in your face, birds singing in the trees, the feel of the warm soil in your hands, characters form and become stories,a Joanne relays. aIt is my earthly paradise where God makes his presence known and softly whispers the ideas for my writings. I feel truly blessed to have the time to write; it gives me great joy.a
