About Me

Welcome to Joanne’s Second Chapter. As a retired teacher and librarian, I have found a wonderful way to express myself and hopefully bring enjoyment to those who love to read. Like many of you, I wrote little stories as a child, looked forward to those spelling assignments in school where you had to use the week’s spelling words in a creative story, and read, read, read.

While employed in my teaching careers in North Carolina, Florida, and New York, I took creative writing courses, submitted fiction to children’s magazines, and occasionally was published. Now I am taking my writing to a whole new level and offering it through this website.
Thank you for taking some time to browse through Joanne’s Second Chapter. Check out the Photo Gallery. There you will find pictures of the real Florida, my native state, that inspire the descriptive passages in my books and short stories. I have Links to other sites that might be of interest to you, as well as a page with Reviews of my work. The Just For You page features a contest winning story of historical fiction that I wrote for boys about thirteen years of age.

Happy Reading!
