Jo Horne began her writing career as part of her business and life-experience in the field of eldercare. After publishing several how-to books for caregivers, she decided to follow her passion: writing historical fiction. A detour into the world of romance and inspirational genre fiction (writing as Anna Schmidt) gave her the tools she needed to tell a good story. Another brief detour into the world of screenwriting revealed her unique style. A lifelong fan of theater and film, Jo ‘sees’ and ‘directs’ her characters as she writes, as if moving them around on a set or stage. Having cut her educational chops on a degree in history and another in theater, Jo finds researching her stories a huge part of the joy of writing. Raised in the mountains of southwestern Virginia, these days Jo splits her time between her adopted states of Wisconsin and Florida.
