JO AN STEVENSON - Author

JoAn Stevenson is a fifth-generation Iowan and is now beginning her ‘retirement career’ of writing books, mainly in the genres of children’s and poetry.  She has always been an avid reader and believes this is why she took up writing, decades ago.  Every year, she and her other family members submit poems to the annual publication, ’Lyrical Iowa.’

Her hobbies include reading, knitting, and travel but would like to devote more time to writing.  She has 5 kids and several grandchildren.  JoAn’s three cats get her out of bed every morning... as well as cooking, gardening, bike riding on most mornings, and frequent volunteering.  Her favorite color is blue and she adores apple pie, Italian food, and potatoes in any form!
