Jo Taylor lives in Daphne, AL with her husband, and her hero characters are always based on him. Her son lives in Santa Barbara, CA and does not appear in her stories as that would embarrass him. She writes poetry, short fiction, novels, and biography. She has a BA in English. She is a Retired ER Nurse, current writer and editor, sometime Psychic/Medium, and frequent painter - not all at once. Her Short Stories and Poetry have been traditionally published in literary magazines, but the glacial pace of the process has been improved by the formation of her own publishing company, Road Clothes Press. Her first book, Postcards: Collected Poems and Short Stories was published on July 30, 2024.
