As a child the only punishment Jodi ever feared was not being allowed her weekly visit to the library.
At boarding school, though an enthusiastic student, her late night reading fests frequently made her late for first period. Luckily, it was a high school for Performing Arts, where the classes she was good at (writing, theatre, dance & visual art) happened in the afternoon. After attending Carnegie Mellon University, she spent several months performing plays on the island of Cyprus, which was where she fell in love with mythology. When she returned to the U.S.A. Jodi lived in New York City. After a summer of working as a tour guide for the Natural History Museum, Jodi developed an addiction for wandering through all of NYC's incredible Museums - especially the Metropolitan Museum of Art. She also spent many hours sitting between the infamous library lions dreaming up the kinds of books she wanted to create.
Now Jodi happily lives in Los Angeles, in a house lined with books instead of wallpaper, where she writes novels & gives Youth Empowerment talks that
inspire people to embrace their own, inner, 'kick ass heroine'!
