About this author

edit data

JoAnn was born and raised in Seattle, but always preferred palm trees to pine trees. She wrote instructional books and videos for a living but dreamed of "making stuff up" once she put the working life behind her. In 1996, she and her husband bought a home on Maui. Best day ever. She loved living on the beach but her husband longed to get back to "normal" so they moved to Arizona. Now JoAnn writes about life in the islands as a way to stay connected. Her "Islands of Aloha" mystery series will feature a story set in each of the major Hawaiian islands, starting with Maui.

I never read books twice--except if they're by Anne Tyler. I've read "Saint Maybe" at least three times. It's that good.

JoAnn Bassett gave to: The Misses Moffet Mend a Marriage by M. Louisa Locke (Goodreads Author) read in March, 2012	My rating:
Fun, clever mystery set in a Victorian setting--what more could you want? It's small, but satisfying (like a well-crafted truffle). Enjoy!
