Jo Michaels replied to the discussion 'Passion & privacy' in the group Mother Writer!

"I use stories from my own childhood but give my characters the personalities of my kids. Abigale is a lot like my daughter, and Emmett is exactly like my son. They love being in the stories I write and their eccentricities make for compelling…"

Jo Michaels commented on the blog post 'On Writing My First Novel: When To Let Go'

"I find that it's rarely the idea that doesn't work, rather the way you go about putting it into action. If you do your legwork when crafting the idea, you'll be able to change a lot of the story and keep with your original…"

Profile Information

Who I am:: Jo Michaels is a writer who's really had a taste of life. She's lived in Louisiana, Tennessee, and Georgia; but visited states from coast to coast. Michaels, a high-school dropout, put herself through college while her husband was deployed to Iraq and still managed to come out on the other side with all five of her children still breathing. On top of that wondrous feat, she managed to graduate Summa Cum Laude. After her fourteen year marriage ended cataclysmically, she took to the keys to fulfill her dream of becoming a writer. Using the degree she obtained in school, Jo set out with tools in her belt not many writers possess: a strong design eye, the skills necessary to format her books, and the ability to use her artistic talents to create stunning covers.

Now, Michaels writes full-time in her garage while imbibing copious amounts of coffee to keep her motor running from son up to son down (and daughter, too). Her inspiration for her books comes from relationships, life, friends, passion, and her own incredible imagination. A fight for achieving her dream (along with her super duper boyfriend) is what drags her out of bed every morning to do what she does best: spin tales laced with high-octane emotion for readers worldwide.

Jo has written six books, all of which are self-published.

The Rangers and the Bruins played hockey this afternoon. I watched the game at my brother’s apartment, on his giant TV. He and his wife have a very cute apartment and such a comfortable sofa, and it’s a great place to sprawl and relax. I’m not a…See More
