Though writing stories from her earliest days, Jo Wilkinson majored in fine art, (her other passion) receiving an honours degree in sculpture at Winchester School of Art and Design. Her appetite for adventure led her to travel the world teaching English, living in Italy, Greece, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Philippines and Japan. With an insatiable appetite for learning, she became immersed in the awesome diversity of humankind, their beliefs and cultures. Now retired, she has time to write, enjoying using her linguistic background and colourful life to conjure worlds for her readers to explore. Married twice, she enjoys the joys and benefits of a large family, still paints and sculpts from time to time, and takes disabled people sailing with a local CVSS volunteer group. Still with a zest for adventure she recently earned a powerboat licence amusing her grandkids.
