Author Bio

 JoAnna Christine Daniels is the author of   eight novels and currently finishing a ninth. She recently completed a  screen play for her third novel, Fate of Angels, a limited TV series. 

Although born in  Southern California, she was raised on a farm in Idaho, which comprised  everything from horses & cows to chickens & pigs. Her summers  were spent climbing trees and observing the world from the comfortable  branches of her favorite oak or maple trees ... when not at the lake  water skiing or tubing down the Boise River. During those eight years in  Idaho, JoAnna cared for animals with her six brothers and sisters,  milking cows, grooming her calf for the fair, riding her Morgan horse,  Doll, and tending the quarter-acre garden with her mother.

Relocated  to Europe at the age of 14, by way of a voyage across the Atlantic  Ocean, and again in the early years of her marriage, her life has been a  bouillabaisse of adventurous experiences. Having lived in Europe for  five years of her life, she has traveled extensively and speaks three  languages 

At the age of fifteen, JoAnna attended  school in France for a year at the Lycee Jean Zay in Orleans, France, as  well as a year in Germany at the Gymnasium fur Madchen in the small  town of Ludwigsburg. After that, returning to Southern California to  live felt more like a vacation!  

After a twelve-year sojourn in Southern  California in the early 2000's, she returned to her beautiful state of Colorado in 2015,  where she enjoys spending time with her three sons, her daughter-in-law,  her grandson, Jackson, and identical twin grand-daughters, Charlie & Sofia.  JoAnna loves hiking in the foothills of the Rockies, camping, horseback  riding, and gardening, and she has been an avid reader since the age of  eight.

 JoAnna attended Loyola/Marymount University  in Los Angeles with an English major and a minor in Foreign  Language. It is her love of history, which prompted her to write  historica fiction/romance.
