Joanna lives in the south of England with her family, in a house with far too many books, and a cat who often ignores her. She hates to fly but loves to travel prefers paperbacks to eBooks, and adores American sitcoms.

Alongside her writing, she has a love of movies, eating out, and socialising with her friends. Her family are her world and her husband is the love of her life. She completed both a BA(Hons) in English Literature and a master's degree in creative writing, all while her children were little.

These days, she can often be found scouring the internet for her next book destination, failing miserably at the daily crossword, and writing her next novel sitting absolutely anywhere, but at her desk.

Lost and Found in Venice is Joanna's second published novel with Orion Fiction. Her debut, Love is in the Air, was published in 2023. She is currently working on her third novel which takes place at the top of a volcano.
