Joanne Hall is the same age as Star Wars, which explains a lot…. She lives in South Wales with her partner, housemates and an expanding collection of dogs, chickens and ponies. She enjoys reading, writing, listening to music, gaming, and eating cake.

Formerly the acquisitions editor at Kristell Ink, Jo really enjoys working with authors to help launch their stories into the world. As well as her own novels and short stories, Jo has edited or co-edited anthologies including Fight Like A Girl 1 and 2, Airship Shape and Bristol Fashion 1 and 2, Lost Gods, Colinthology and the Wiz Duos novella series.

Her fiction has been shortlisted for the BFS Award, the David Gemmell award and The Tiptree. She can be found on Bluesky (hierath77.bsky.social) and Instagram as hierath77

Jo says she is always happy to hear from readers, especially the ones that send her cake in the post…
