Jodi was born and raised in a small West Virginia town and grew up an only child with a loving family.  Her passion for writing was first discovered at just twelve years old during a writing assignment for school.  Her teen years were expressed on paper through numerous pieces of poetry, many which were later published in various anthologies.   Through the nineties, her literary pieces evolved into short stories and her first attempt at a full-length novel, which she has, to date, never published. In 2008, she wrote and self-published her fiction novel "The Disappearance of Benny" and has, since, followed it up with three other fiction novels.  She has also contributed numerous articles for Demand Studios and a local magazine where she lives. Jodi is a wife and mother with a full-time job, but she always nourishes her passion for the literary arts, doing freelance writing and producing her fiction novels.  She hopes to, one day, become a writer full-time.
