  <about><![CDATA[JoElle was born in the Pacific Northwest.

At age eight, she moved to Guadalajara, Mexico along with her family. After six years in Mexico she then moved to South Texas.

She has since lived in Central Texas, the Bay Area of California, and now her home is in Northern Nevada.

However, today she spends most of her time wandering the scenic highways of America with her husband.

JoElle comes from a large family. With two older brothers and three younger sisters, she enjoyed the middle spot while growing up. (She was the official tattletale - a title none of her siblings ever let her forget). Though she loved playing outside as a child, she was also a bookworm.

Married shortly after graduating high school, she and her husband recently celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary.

JoElle and her husband homeschooled their son who became a wildland firefighter and joined the Air Guard. 

Ever since she was a little girl and wrote her first multi-page story in fourth grade, JoElle knew she wanted to be a writer.

She competed in Journalism in high school, winning several awards in feature writing. She has written a number of feature stories of community interest for local papers on subjects such as volunteering, guide dogs, homeschooling, and the Explorer program. She served as a regional editor for a homeschooling newsletter and has had a number of short stories and articles published in e-zines and  print magazines.

JoElle has always felt she was part gypsy because she always felt so at home on highway trips. Being in one place for too long makes her restless.

Today she is living her dream. She is being paid to do what she loves: wander &amp; write.
