Jo Holloway
Jo Holloway is a chocolate-loving, soup-phobic, dog-adoring writer of fantasy novels. She'd much rather spend time in fantastical worlds than this one most days.
She has a degree in Microbiology, and worked in public health and IT before becoming an author, something her Clark Kent alter ego continues to do in her day job.
When not writing, you can find Jo out walking her Eurasier (yes, that's a dog breed) or cozied up with a book at home.
