About Jo Ann
|
Here is my professional face. Celestial Arts, a publisher, made me
a lot of copies of it, so this picture is the one I use and hand out
at most opportunities! |
|
| This Indian-braid girl was a long ago young woman growing up in
Alabama. That farm background is a valued stabilizing influence and
taught me early lessons about independence and equality. |

|
This is a working vacation trip to Santo Domingo and Haiti. An
ordinary routine helps me write; traveling opens my mind and heart
and helps me live. I love to travel and will go out of my way to
accept speaking, workshops, writing conferences and seminar invitations. |
|
| We all had a wonderful time at this library-sponsored book-fair in
Jacksonville (speaking before the Friends of the Library groups is
a favorite activity). My workshop on women, money and spirituality
was heavily attended and the party that night was at a lovely house
on the St John's river. |

At a workshop, Computer Magic, at the national convention of Pen
(National League of American Pen Women) in Tampa in 1998, I'm
demonstrating my laptop computer, small traveling printer and how
I can dial locally and receive and send my email from anywhere. |
|
| What a thrill to meet Gaylord Nelson and his charming wife in their
old home town of Clear Lake, Wisconsin. I edited a book that summer
in Stillwater and Clear Lake and even wrote some poetry. |

This picture fools most people! At the ABA (American Booksellers
Association) a few years ago, a dummy, but still jaunty, George Burns
posed with a lot of independent booksellers and a few lucky writers. |
|
| This recent beach picture shows favorite activities of birds and
sunset watching. Kaua‘i is wonderful! |
