- About Me:
- JO-ANNE VANDERMEULEN is a prolific writer of romantic fiction.
Before April of 2006, Jo-Anne never had the time to fulfill her dreams of writing. For the past twenty years, she loved her life as she accepted with great pleasure the maternal and professional sacrifice shared between raising her two daughters as a single mom, and teaching with an English Major.
But at the age of forty-two, her life drastically changed…
In April of 2006, Jo-Anne was diagnosed with a medical illness that sent her home from her classroom. Determined not to let this devastation ruin her life, she turned this unplanned transition into an opportunity. Jo-Anne wrote her first novel in seventeen days: a story that produced unbelievable self-healing results.
Since this time, she has remarried a wonderful man who supports her writing passion, said farewell and good-luck to her two daughters as they venture forth to pursue secondary educations, welcomed her new career—the journey to publication, and developed an expertise in the promotional industry.
Now having the time to write, she has produced two completed novels, created an author platform where her audience networks through her blog, Conquer All Obstacles, and has gained a wealth of experience through attending a writing conference, participating in many on-line workshops, joining membership to several writing associations, and meeting editors to pitch her first book.
But soon she discovered the writing and publishing journey doesn’t stop there. Diving into on-line support groups and professional bloggers, she learned the skills and techniques to successfully promote and market books. Her desire to help other authors lead to sharing her new found information in the form of posts in her “Conquer All Obstacle” blog. And not long after, other fellow writers recognized her expertise and began to contact her for her promotional services.
Yes, Jo-Anne discovered her new niche in life.
The demand for Jo-Anne’s marketing and promotional services rapidly grew. Thousands of authors requested her services. The door opened and a new opportunity had risen. All she had to do was walk through…and begin a new business.
PREMIUM PROMOTIONAL SERVICES where *You Write – We Promote*. A new venture she knows will fill the demanding gap for many authors.

Are you ready?
Anyway, I hope to get the house into decent shape before Christmas, when I do my annual meal for the family. There's also that Christmas list to get together. Time is ticking away.
What about you? Are you ready for Christmas? Or do you celebrate another Holiday? If so, are you ready?
Please Welcome Mary Cunningham, Cynthia's Attic Author
One of the main reasons for writing "Cynthia's Attic" came from my failure - failure to appreciate my ancestors. Our family stories are probably no more or less interesting than most, and I went out of my way to avoid remembering most of them or asking questions about my grandparents lives.
Or did I try to find out just which relative "supposedly" sold a city block on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles for $20,000? Guaranteed, I would not be sitting here writing a blog had that particular relative held on to the property.
Then there's the story, "Cynthia's Attic: Curse of the Bayou," of my great-great grandfather, Augustus Boilliat who disappeared in 1860 while taking a load of produce down the Mississippi River to New Orleans? Oh, sure I've read different accounts about what happened to him, but lost forever are the stories his grandson (my grandfather) could've told me about facts he'd heard from my great-great grandmother, Marie Julia, about her husband's disappearance.
I remember a few accounts told by my dad about his adventures as a teenage cave guide at one of the largest caves in the Southern Indiana area, Wyandotte, but I only have to guess at some of the adventures he must've had.
The idea for Cynthia's Attic: The Magician's Castle came from detailed genealogy research done by my cousin, Betty. Long before the Internet, she traveled to Switzerland to search for documents that would tie our great-grandmother, Harriet Kistler, to Peter Kistler the First, President of the Republic of Bern, 1470-1480. I've tried to honor the Kistler family in the fourth adventure in Cynthia's Attic.
Thanks, Morgan, for having me as a guest!
Mary Cunningham
She is also co-writer of the humor-filled, women's lifestyle book, "Women Only Over Fifty (WOOF)," along with published stories, "Ghost Light" and "Christmas Daisy," A Cynthia's Attic short story.
To celebrate the release of "The Magician's Castle," (Quake/Echelon Press, DEC 1, 2009), a winner will be chosen on each blog stop to receive a copy of the "Cynthia's Attic" short story, "Christmas With Daisy!" So, be sure to make a comment!

Check out the Mystery of the Missing Checks

Can We Talk?
I'm firming up some dates for speaking engagements in 2010. One's tentatively set for March 28, at 1:30 at the Niles Public Library, another probably in mid May at the Schaumburg Township District Library.Also, coming up is a radio interview at WJJQ again on May 7, at 9:35 a.m. before my booksigning May 8 at Cover to Cover Books in Tomahawk, WI.
I've heard that some people are more afraid of public speaking than of dying. Surprisingly, I find it easier each time I do it. As long as I have my cheat sheet with me to glance down at once in a while for security and I like what I'm talking about, I'm okay.
What about you? Do you like to talk or would you rather not?
