Biography Jo is a mother of three gorgeous boys, lucky enough to live and work on a pastoral station where her family supports her in both her writing and mothering. In between teaching her three sons, trying to keep her garden alive (failing here rather though) and working as an Occupational Therapist in remote Aboriginal communities, she writes. Her second book comes out next year. Her next project is a biography of Elder Des Thompson, and she also wants to have one last baby.
