Margaret of Thibodaux, Jo Taylor's debut novel, has over 1 million page reads on Kindle Unlimited.
An obstreperous, retired ER nurse who is likely an obstreperous writer too, Jo Taylor grew up with three stepmothers (not at the same time), lived on a boat, and traced her genealogy back to the year 310 (maybe, probably, you know how genealogy is). She's been married for 33 years and hero characters are based on her husband, a hero in real life. Her first book, Postcards: Collected of Poems and Short Stories came out in July 2024.
