Wow, that was a great book!

...I think I'll write my own.

Jo Rain is a wife and mother of three from a very small community in West Virginia. Since early childhood she enjoyed making up stories and writing them down (mostly either on her great grandmother’s old typewriter or by using multi-colored pens and paper). Never did she think she would be able to publish a book (even though her great grandmother did)...until one day inspiration struck and stuck. Then, the Leah Hart’s Heart series was brought to life...and as they say, the rest is history.

THANK YOUS

First, thank God for blessing me with my natural abilities, my imagination, and my wonderful life.

​

Secondly, these books would not be possible without my husband. You kept encouraging me, whenever I doubted myself. Thank you so much. 

​

Elizabeth, my longest running BFF, your interest and excitement boosted my commitment for the series. Thanks for always being there.

​

Of course, to my awesome family, who supports me. I am so grateful! Aunt Carolyn, your kind words and compliments will forever ring in my heart and mind. My grandma, my first best friend, my number one fan, I will forever be grateful for you. My mom, thanks for growing my creativity. 

My three beautiful girls: you've given me all the courage in the world. You've shown me what true love really means. 

​

Oh, and a big shout out to my dictionary and thesaurus apps...my ride or dies! 

​

To my pal (you know who you are) thank you for the feedback, the editing, and the begging. Without your extra-fan-girl-ness, I would've thrown in the towel. You're my Minnie.

​

Finally, a huge THANK YOU to the one reading this right now AND to all the ones who have bought, read, and love my books. I cannot explain how awesome it has made me feel. I'm soooo glad you enjoy them.

​

*Sending everyone in spirit a big, squeezing, bone-breaking Aunt Carolyn hug!*
