The novel was named the winner in adult fiction at the Texas Author Project and shortlisted for the Sarton Award and Eric Hoffer Award, among others.
A retired registered nurse with experience in both the cold, clinical operating room and the emotionally fraught world of psychiatric hospitals, she lives and writes on a small ranch in the Texas Hill Country.
Just One Look, her second published novel, was a May 2021 Pulpwood Queen Book Club selection.
Her third novel, I’ll Be Seeing You, features characters from Sweet Jane. Joanne’s prize-winning short fiction and poetry have appeared in anthologies.
Joanne writes fiction about complicated, twentieth-century women who eventually figure it out. While her characters’ paths are not easy, they rise to face life’s challenges.view less
