Jo Wilde lives on a small farm in Waskom, Texas, right on the border of Louisiana, with her husband and their three children. She is a stay at home mom and is earning her BA in English.

Growing up, Jo lived in a time when women were to be seen rather than heard. This notion didn't sit well with her. She often found herself in a pickle, speaking her mind, attending outrageous concerts, hanging out with the cool kids, and pushing the limits of what society deemed as acceptable. Now that she's settled down and has a family of her own, she saves her inner rebel for her books. Jo loves writing stories about strong, spunky female-roles that don't take any bull and makes no excuses. She is best known for her young adult book, The CROSSING. And she promises there are more coming soon!
