More About the Author

An East Coast gal who has been transplanted to south Texas, I'm loving the wild west and the strong, sassy, hard-working folks who live here. Born and raised in Baltimore, I moved to Washington DC when I went to college and grad school, and met my future husband. Now, 37 years after our marriage, we are the proud parents of 3 grown adults, each of whom is terribly talented and accomplished. In the early 80's, I began to write fiction and here I am 18 novels later! As a PR person by inclination and profession, I got a gift for gab and am delighted to be able to chat on Amazon with readers!

2.0 out of 5 stars Lackluster, May 6, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: ANGEL OF MIDNIGHT (Paperback)

This book begins by asserting a female heroine who appeared to be strong-willed and dynamic. However, at the introduction of a strong male presence, she loses all her wits (despite the narrator's insistence that she is still intelligent and willful). In attempting to play on the words (Angel and Devil of Midnight), which is essentially the object of the story, this book gave up a great deal. The treachery of the evil was average at best, and the resolution of conflict was very sloppy and rather unfitting, lacking any tension and drama that would have added flavor to this book. One reads the first 3 quarters of the book looking forward to a resolution, yet it hardly deserves such high-hopes. All in all this was not a memorable read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Good, August 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: ANGEL OF MIDNIGHT (Paperback)

This book is wonderfully written. Even though Angel is supposed to be a stand-on-her-on woman, most of that was an act so as to not give onto her fears. And the way Devil was always there for her and see right through it was totally romantic. He understood her need for independence, but showed enough support to still fit the times of the book. All in all, Jo-Ann has given me some very good ideas for my own books.......
