Outskirts Press, INC.

After graduating from Willamette University, Jo spent most of the next thirty years teaching, counseling, mothering, wifiing, and of course, writing. Her writing first appeared in small literary magazines and professional publications. Since retirement, she has had time to write five novels and two screenplays. Her stories and essays, as well as the novels, reflect her observations of women’s lives and the people who inhabit them: husbands parents, friends and strangers who happen by and change everything.
