She also has several original screenplays in development including supernatural thriller, BLOODLINES, family fantasy, THE MAGIC PAINTBRUSH, and CHINA BLUES, a comedy drama, funded by CREATIVE ENGLAND.
WANTED is her debut novel. Next up, Jo will be writing WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU, book 1 of the supernatural series, TWISTED, about four outcast girls with some super dark powers.
