"Joanie has always been fascinated by words, poems, letters and short stories."

As an author, she has directed her writing to giving young children a sense of belonging and self-confidence. Her children's books will introduce readers to a multicultural and multiracial population that she believes reflects the true America.

Joanie is a cat lover. She loves sitting outside in the summer relaxing in her gazebo, writing while watching her husband feed the birds and those nervous squirrels running around in their back yard. Oh yes and there is that big fat ground hog that eats their organically grown melons every year.

Joanie and her husband of 25 years own U-Impact Publishing LLC. She is a licensed real-estate professional with an extensive background in property management, development and proposal writing.
