Writing everyday is like a picnic, party and celebration rolled into one, to Joanne. 

KEEP POSTED TO THIS PAGE!!

You will love the many  enchanting, entertaining and enlightening quick-to-read short stories. They take from 3 to 60 minutes to read.

So far, since 2013, five of Joanne's short stories have been selected & published in creative writing  journals and annual anthologies.

Joanne's stories are

free-flowing with imagination because she always writes in very peaceful surroundings. 

​First was her Australian 25-acres of Australian rainforest home.  Then there was  no-man's land--Outback Australia. And currently, in lush and ever so serene Tasmania Australia.

Then, since 2012, gloriously lush and serene Tasmania, Australia  (AKA "Last of the Frontiers") has been her home/writer's office... living in a lovely historic town of 300 people.

Then, Joanne enjoyed the peace of no-man's land--Outback Australia.  Really had fun sharing her short stories, for free, with the warm and welcoming Outback  cattle station owners.  And truly embraced another chance at simple living--in a vintage 1960's caravan for two years, on the corner of a friend's Outback property.

So enthralled with the big, wide open space of the Outback, she didn't mind the extremely basic makeshift bathroom...

*Coming very soon:

Joanne's hope-inspiring short story about her experience as a speech pathologist for children with profound cerebral palsy. She and a team of teachers, an occupational therapist and a physical therapist brought parents to joyful tears as they watched their child move and communicate unaided. The team wrote and produced the play, for the children-- "Santa Lost in Space." *Hopefully, you'll help her create a great title for this short story.
