All About Jodi

I live and work in the Northeastern United States with my partner of seven years. We have two cats, one skinny boy kitten and one fat old lady, and a little seventy-five year old Dutch Colonial that we're in love with.

I have been writing for in one form or another since I was very young. In addition to the work that I publish, I write character-driven gay and lesbian fiction as a pastime and for entertainment, and share it with like-minded friends. Whether it's erotica or mainstream gay fiction, I prefer to read about real people with real flaws living real lives.

Several years ago, after tirelessly searching for lesbian erotica that suited my tastes, I finally gave up looking and decided that if I was going to find what I'd been looking for, I was going to have to write it myself. That was how my first lesbian short story, Virtuoso, was born. It was later published by Torquere Press, and my writing career took a turn for the professional.

In addition to my lesbian work, which has a wonderfully loyal and encouraging audience, I have also broadened my repertoire to include work that centers around gay men. I started by co-writing with the talented Chris Owen early in 2002, and then branched out into short stories, and my first gay novel, Founder, was published in July 2007. I don't consider writing men to be betraying my lesbian readers, I'm still publishing plenty of lesbian work. I have always written character-driven stories, and sometimes the characters that come to mind happen to be men. Men are hot, too.

I love cats. I row Masters crew. I enjoy a good meal with good friends and lots of garlic. I can't tell a joke to save my life. I am most inspired in the fall and winter, when the days get short and I can bundle up and hibernate with my computer to write. If I had a million dollars I would buy a little cottage on the ocean somewhere that was snowy in the winter and warm in the summer that I could hibernate in.
