About Joanna

Joanna began writing when she was a kid, but never took it very seriously, even though her mom told her she should be a writer. Moms aren’t generally known for their impartial judgement, to be fair.

Eventually, deep into adulthood, Joanna admitted her mom might have been on to something. Moms are usually right about these things, to be fair.

Her first picture book, Tidy Ted Meets Jess the Mess, is due out March 31st, 2026 via Clavis Publishing, distributed through Simon & Schuster. She cannot freaking wait.

When not scribbling down random story ideas while cooking dinner or actually finding time to write, Joanna is hanging out with her kids, cleaning up after her kids, reading to her kids, walking the doggo or doing laundry (always). She lives with her husband, kids and dog on Vancouver Island, Canada.
