ⓘ About Joanna Wayne
Author Jo Ann Vest writes contemporary romance books and publishes them under the name of Joanna Wayne. Vest has used some other pen names too. These include: Julia Watson, Julia Hamilton, Jane De Vere, and Julia Fitzgerald. She was born in Shreveport, Louisiana, and it was here that she grew up. At the age of only four, she started reading, and pretty soon, was making trips to the library on a weekly basis to pick out books for her to read. Then she would read every single one of them right before she went to bed that night. Her love of books has not dropped off since then. By the year 1984, she got married and moved on to New Orleans, and enrolled in a course on writing and joined a pro writing organization.
