I've been making up stories for as long as I can remember and love giving a voice to the characters in my head! I've known Mickey Mouse from the "inside," have been a copyeditor for my tiny town's newspaper, and a bookseller. I write Historical and Contemporary Romances, along with Young and New Adult Fantasy/Adventure stories. I get lost in DIY projects around the house and work out plot ideas with my dog Bailey. I divide my time between Central Florida and New England, and you may contact me at JoMarie@JoMarieDeGioia.com
