About Me
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.
