I never know what to write on these things, but here we go! I'm JoAnne, and I knit, create geeky things in resin, decorate mugs, and write YA Fantasy. I have a story about dragons who hoard and the aristocratic ladies who love them coming out in November. It will be in the Dragons Within anthology through Balance of Seven Press.

One sentence blurb:
A noblewoman struggles to make good on her promise to mind her manners after a pack of brutes mishandles her collection of silks.
