Jodi Dawson (aka Jodi Anderson) began her writing career as a young, sassy girl, penning plays to be performed by she and her four siblings. In a garage. For their 'held hostage' audience of mother and father. Years later, Jodi reclaimed her passion for the written word and dove in head first with her first love...romance. After receiving an education degree in Alaska, Jodi promptly put that piece of parchment away and followed her soul into writing romance novels. Settled now after living in ten states and South Korea, Jodi enjoys teaching, writing and spending time with family and friends. Jodi presents a variety of workshops for writers and uses any opportunity to gain control of a microphone in front of a captive audience when acting as emcee at various events.
