Introducing a new Rogue Writer….Jo Schaffer

So, poor Mel, she has been the only female around here for quite awhile. We’ve heard her cries for estrogen. Allow us to introduce…

Jo Schaffer is a YA novelist, speaker and ninja mama, born and raised in the California Bay Area.

She’s a founding member of Writers Cubed and co-founder of the Teen Author Boot Camp, one of the largest conferences in the nation for youth ages 13-19. She and a crew of local international bestselling authors present writing workshops to over 400 attendees at the Utah-based conference as well as hundreds of others worldwide who view the conference online.

Jo loves being involved in anything that promotes literacy and family. She is passionate about community, travel, books, music, fitness, classic films and martial arts. Her brain is always spinning new ideas for books and sometimes she even gets around to blogging on her own blog.

Jo lives in the beautiful mountains of Utah with her filmmaker/artist husband, three strapping sons and a blue-eyed cat named Smokey.
