About this author

Jo Ramsey started writing when she was five years old and hasn't stopped since. Between ages 12 and 20, she wrote twenty book-length manuscripts, longhand in spiral notebooks which now dwell in the bottom drawer of her filing cabinet. Jo's first YA novel, Reality Shift 1: Connection, was published in January 2010, followed in October 2010 by book 2: Filtration System. Jo lives in Massachusetts with her two daughters, her husband, and two cats, one of whom occasionally tries to help her type.


As promised, here’s an excerpt–and blurb–from my novelStrong Spirit, (Reality Shift 6), which released April 22 fromFeatherweight Press.
