About Joanne
Born, raised, and educated in upstate NY, I am the youngest of three children. In 1995, I relocated to Long Island to pursue a career as an Executive Recruiter. After being employed for three years with a firm in Hicksville, NY, I decided to venture out on my own. In July, 1998 I opened J & J Staffing, an Employment Agency I continue to operate to date.As a child and young adult, I was always interested in literature, writing short stories and poems as far back as I can remember. In 1999 I began creating “The Holiday Fairy Series”. Inspired by my son, nieces and nephews, and children of friends, each story includes a holiday, a fairy depicting said holiday, and those children that are near and dear to my heart. Please note too, that the stories rhyme, adding a touch of whimsy to an already fun loving series.My first book “Candle Carrie the Birthday Fairy”, was published December 1, 2009. (Please check my website, www.holidayfairies.com periodically for future releases, as there are sixteen books in the series.)Currently residing in Middletown, CT, I am the proud mother of one grown son, Joseph, and two Chihuahuas, Rufus and Tinker Bell.
